Connected (Eivind Aarset Album)
''Connected'' is an album by Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset. John Kelman in his review states, "...the unique language that he has developed over the course of his previous two efforts, ''Electronique Noire'' and ''Light Extracts'', would imply a more formidable technique at play that is simply so subtle that it is subsumed in the sheer musicality of the work. And that's exactly how it should be..." Reception The review of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album 5 stars (dice).

Jazz
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with its roots in blues and ragtime. Since the 1920s Jazz Age, it has been recognized as a major form of musical expression in traditional and popular music. Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, complex chords, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation. Jazz has roots in European harmony and African rhythmic rituals. As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation. But jazz did not begin as a single musical tradition in New Orleans or elsewhere. In the 1930s, arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, Kansas City jazz (a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisationa ...

Sonic Codex
''Sonic Codex'' is an album by Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset.
