Norwegian newspaper Dagsavisen also printed a very favorable review:
"Når det stavangerbaserte improvisasjons- og samtidsmusikk-orienterte Kitchen Orchestra debuterer på plate med Alexander von Schlippenbach, er det eit storhending (…) med denne utgjevinga vil gjengen frå avantgarde-jazzens norske hovudstad Stavanger ikkje lenger vere ein av dei best ivaretekne løyndomane i riket (…) Albumet glitrar av speleglede, så kjøp og lytt til dette forrykande orkesteret (…)"

HELLDORADO
Helldorad
o, ditt favoritt surf-garage-mariachi-murderballad-rock band, avslutter Europa-turneen sin med en konsert på Folken i Stavanger. Med sitt femte album, Bones In The Closet, viser Helldorado at de fremdeles er et av Norges tøffeste band. Som på sine tidligere album tar de oss med inn i et Tarantino/Morricone-aktig landskap, med "murder-ballads", hvileløs ørkenrock, americana og surfgitar som noen av hovedingrediensene. Helldorado har denne gang strippet vekk strykerne fra de foregående albumene og gått tilbake til røttene: trommer, gitarer, bass og trompet, det hele frontet av den umiskjennelige stemmen til vokalist Dag Sindre Vagle. Albumet har blitt anmeldt til terningkast 5 i inn- og utland.

THE BRIGADE
The Brigade lurer deg inn i mørket og sparker deg ut igjen i lyset...

The Brigade ga ut debutplata "Dead Mans Gold" i 2010 og er nå på gang med nytt materiale. "Dead Mans Gold" var innom VG-lista topp 20 og høstet mange gode anmeldelser:
- Et widescreen rocknroll-lerret som er spent opp på musikalske knagger som Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, The Doors, 16 Horsepower og Madrugada (...) utmerket rock noir - Tom Skjeklesæther (ABC Startsiden)
- Resultatet er tidevis sjokkerende bra (...) Låtene Right In Front Of You og She Wouldnt Let Me Drown er noe av det beste jeg har hørt i år - Egon Holstad (Nordlys)
- Feiende flott utført og dermed lov å nyte. Som en god bourbon i halvmørket på et slitent hotellrom. - Stein Østbø (VG)
- «Dead Man's Gold» er perfekt til to bruk: en lang kjøretur over den amerikanske prærien, eller en ensom kveld i en ålreit stol med en flaske brukbar whisky i hånden. Til all annen bruk vil The Brigades debutplate kun være veldig, veldig bra. Alt i alt er derfor platen noe man tror man kanskje har hørt før, men samtidig altfor bra til at man ikke føler at den er verdt å høre igjen - Tore Friestad (Studvest)

Kitchen Orchestra with Alexander von Schlippenbach

Kitchen Orchestra with Alexander von Schlippenbach
Release date: 1. November
Cat # CCAP168
Format: CD digipak and digital




On November 1st, Stavanger, Norway’s Kitchen Orchestra releases their debut record with jazz legend Alexander von Schlippenbach.

“The Schlippenbach project is our first recording because we’ve had the luxury of working with him over a long period and it seemed natural and a good progression to record with him,” says Petter Frost Fadnes, who plays baritone in the Orchestra.

Formed in 2005, Kitchen Orchestra is a music collective built around 24 members of locally based improvisers exploring the improvisational relationship between the individual and the ensemble in the context of modern and jazz music.

“This is an interesting band,” says Schlippenbach. “They have unexpected instruments, such as accordion, keyboard and electronics which I love but have not worked with much in the past. This band has great musical potential!”

Starting at the beginning of 2010, Kitchen Orchestra began working with legendary German free jazz pianist/composer/band leader Alexander von Schlippenbach. From The Globe Unity Orchestra in 1966, to his trio with Evan Parker and Paul Lovens, Schlippenbach can well be called one of the biggest free jazz band leaders in improvisational music. His music mixes free and contemporary classical elements often using slashing solos as the link between the two elements in his compositions. In the context of Kitchen Orchestra this translates into an explosion of color and sound. So how did his connection with the Kitchen Orchestra come about?

“In 2009 I got an invitation to do a workshop with them,” Schlippenbach says. “I accepted because I am always interested in working with large ensembles and prepared my music in that direction. I took pieces from my own orchestra and I also arranged a few jazz pieces. I was quite surprised how flexible they are and they could play everything quite easily.”

By the time Schlippenbach arrived on the scene, the Kitchen Orchestra had been going for some five years. It was formed at the initiative of co-founders Petter Frost Fadnes, Didrik Ingvaldsen, Gunhild Seim  and Nils Henrik Asheim, and was a creative response to bringing the very best of Stavanger’s musical community together in a collective, ongoing project,

“We could see the need for it,” says Frost Fadnes about the orchestra, “There was a community to build an orchestra – we kind of just did it, you get the right people in the room together and that’s an orchestra and that’s a concert, and off you go.”

They debuted the Schlippenbach project under Maijazz 2010 in Stavanger, Norway to surprising enthusiasm. Jazznytt called it a “transformative surprise of intellectual free jazz.” And in July 2011 they recorded their debut album with Schlippenbach at Nærlandsheimen Church/ Bekk Studio, with producer Ashley Stubbert (better known for more harder metal and rock acts such as Purified In Blood, and Helldorado but has a keen interest in improv.)

“This is a dynamic record! With a wide range of melodic, and compositional elements uniquely blended with free improv. Schlippenbach’s arrangments masterfully used the talents of such a diverse group of musicians to create a massive sound. A fantastic record to work on!” – Ashley Stubbert

Kitchen Orchestra with Alexander von Schlippenbach will be released to the digital world 1. November.

Release concert with Schlippenbach will be held under Kitchen Orchestras annual festival What’s Cooking 2-3 of November at Spor 5 in Stavanger
