“Jens Andreas Kleiven Trio – JAKT består av tre musikere som spiller akkustisk jazz som kiler i øra og banker i blod.Med forbilder som Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett og Brad Mehldau er det en del ærefrykt for fremføring av jazzmaterialet sitt når Kleiven og hans trio spiller. 

Det er improvisert og lekent kombinert med utarrangerte alvorlige deler. Det går i dur og moll, fort og sakte, mye og lite, høyt og lavt, sterkt og stille. Det er musikk som er glad i den tydelige og tidvis naive melodiske linjen. Navnet JAKT er art by accident i og med at Jens Andreas Kleiven Trio initialene ville det sånn. Det som er sikkert er at Kleiven kommer fra ei bygd hvor jakta står usannsynlig sterkt. Oktober er den hellige elgjaktsmåneden sier han, og man våger ikke invitere til bryllup, bursdagsfest, eller annet som kan gjøre det vanskelig for jakta. Kleiven sier at han derimot aldri har deltatt og har derfor tatt opp jakta på denne måten, og spilt inn musikken i oktober måned i fjor for å markere den hellige oktobermåneden på annet vis da han slapp sin første jazzutgivelse på Very Happy Records Jazz i år. 

Denne kvelden slippes den nye EPen “Live at Abildsø” digitalt og jaktlaget er på plass med Jens Andreas Kleiven på piano, Martin Ulltang på ståbass og Runar Netland på slagverk.

BOBIQ POETIC IS A LION!

“i Forgot I Was A Lion” seems to be the new title for the upcoming retrospective album from the infamous Bobiq Poetic who dropped 100 of his “Love Demo” EPs on CD-R in the early 00s. Lucky to have one of those, they might be included or excluded in the release or digitally revamped for the streaming world to hear. A teaser flyer for the album has been released, but no date other than “soon” is known as of now.
