about

Jazz, world, fusion group Special Venture's second album recorded at the Danish Radio on two occasions (two separate broadcasts). The first four tracks was recorded live (1999) in front of an invited studio audience. The remaining seven tracks was recorded live (2000) in the studio (no audience). Seven years later I got hold of the rights and released as an album.
REVIEW EXTTACT: "With subtle nods to legendary Norwegian guitarist Terje Rypdal, largely due to guitarist John Sund’s stinging and airy single note phrasings, the band does offer a divergent group-based sound that offers a spark of singularity. Partly due to vibist/keyboardist/percussionist Jon Meinild’s colorific textures and sleek soloing maneuvers amid other factors, the music, while forceful in scope, is somewhat kaleidoscopic as well. Enamored by bustling rhythms and haunting melody lines, the soloists are afforded ample amounts of breathing room. Sund’s often scathing yet poignant phrasings might signal in guitar-hero status. And in spots, he uses volume control techniques for the textural element."
(Zealously recommended…. )
