Kuchen, Martin/jon Rune Strom/tollef Ostvang

Melted Snow

'Melted Snow' features Swedish saxophonist Martin Küchen with Norwegian bassist Jon Rune Strom and drummer Tollef Ostvang, offering a mix of free jazz and emotive, minor key tunes. This limited edition LP partially mirrors the repertoire from 'Satan In Plain Clothes' but with looser arrangements. Küchen's raw, expressive saxophone dominates, alternating between tenor and soprano, often creating tension with the faster rhythm section. Strom and Ostvang provide dynamic, restless energy, especially in tracks like the mournful 'I've Been Lied To' and the title piece. The closing track, 'Satan In Plain Clothes (Beat Up),' ends the album on a funky, resolved note.
