Espen Horne
The Anatomy Of Serene Eloquence
Wah Wah 45s - Cat No: WAHLP026
- updated:2024-11-07
Veteran producer Espen Horne, who has been releasing music under various aliases in Norway's Nu Jazz scene, returns with a long-awaited comeback album — his first release on Wah Wah 45s in 24 years! It follows his new 7" "Bakeren / Bergen Sunrays," his first solo-billed record since 1999. Spiritual Nu Jazz Funk, wonderfully soulful.

Featured on Gilles Peterson's BBC Radio 6 show, Jazz FM legend Robbie Vincent's show, Bandcamp Weekly, Spotify playlists and more, the double-sided 7" single sold out instantly: A1 "Bakeren" (sample 1) and A3 "Bergen Sunrays" (sample 2), plus B2 "Rory's Sunrays" (sample 3), featuring the superb organ work of London-based keyboardist Rory More. Beyond those highlights, this is a masterful album of psychedelic, geometric jazz funk / soul jazz / modern jazz with a calm, mellow flavor, beautifully evoking the serene spirituality and experimentalism of the '70s in chilled-out fashion. Ten tracks in all, showing off an understated but excellent drum & bass sensibility. Recommended. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
