Kuchen, Martin/johan Berthling/steve Noble
Night In Europe
Martin Küchen, one of Europe's leading saxophonists, teams up with bassist Johan Berthling and drummer Steve Noble for 'Night In Europe,' an album featuring three tracks recorded live in Stockholm. Known for his emotive compositions, Küchen showcases his mastery of timbral distortion and unpredictable improvisation here. The album's pieces range from loud, intense sections to quieter, staccato fragments. Berthling's throbbing bass and Noble's dynamic, untethered drumming support Küchen's edgy saxophone, which includes moments of blowing two horns simultaneously. The result is a gripping, episodic journey of free jazz.
