The Scandinavian jazz is commonly associated with the kind of fragile, cold ECM sound (inspired by the fjords), which is contraddicted by the explosive music played by the likes of Matts Gustafsson or Atomic band. Fattigfolket present yet another way as the 11 park-pieces (seven of them by Hallvard, three by Putte and one they share the credit for) all display a kind of melodic accessibility and warmth that don't fit neither the peacefulness of cold fjords nor the rebel explosion.
Through the set the of carefully written and undeniably pretty melodies the band displays a close interplay and fine musicianship.
..."Park" is collection of strong melodies, intricantly arranged and inspiringly played. Delicate, peacefull, soothing.
