LAIV by Uuskyla Øgrim & Berg
Complete set recorded at Brötz, Gothenburg, Sweden on October 11, 2017, previously released as CD, 2017
The single 42-minute track allows for no questions and takes no prisoners...Hearing the musicians in their natural state is the purest experience...This disc reminds me of the response we used to give to complainers, "If it's too loud, then you're too old."
– Marc Corroto, All About Jazz, April 2018.
"This trio sounds like a rock/jazz power trio from the early seventies, pre-fusion, moving in immense waves without many actual solos, more of a group sound. The set is mostly organic, explosive only in sections, the trio taking their time to explore each other’s playing. This set seems to be more about mood and vibes, kind of dark and mystical at times, like an ancient ritual taking place around us. We can’t help but be enveloped by the cautious, creative spirits."
- Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG
