About
Departure is the fourth release and the debut on Edition Records from pianist Eyolf Dale and saxophonist and clarinetist Andre Roligheten, two musicians at the forefront of an exciting new generation of Norwegian Jazz. The music inscribed on this album describes a meeting between two old friends; an intimate dialogue between two critically acclaimed jazz musicians with impressive careers of their own; but also a departure: an album that carves a new path for the duo formerly known as Albatrosh. This music is poetic, honest and reflective. Its shifting harmonies and long drawn out melodies create a haunting melancholy, and a raw and personal sound.

...the evidence of a slowly-incubated empathy glimmers throughout this low-lit, melodious, and unexpectedly captivating set. Dale has said that the pair’s current aim is to “make the music transparent and bare”, but though that much is unmistakeable, the playing is far from minimal or austere.
