Info for Imperfect Solitude

Tore T Sandbakken debuts on Jazzland with "Imperfect Solitude". Accompanied by Hanna Paulsberg on sax and Dag-Filip Roaldsnes on piano, the album features compositions by Sandbakken and Roaldsnes, and is a classic jazz album, shot through with pensive ballads, dramatic urban-flavoured pieces, melancholy, wistfulness, chattering energetic improvisations, and a dynamic range from delicate melodic lines to towering power riffs. This is late night jazz at its finest, perfect for a lonely gaze across a city skyline, or a musical accompaniment to a quiet evening with close friends and a bottle of wine.
