Into the Open (2011)

Sidsel Marie does things her own way...period. Having always been drawn to things that were a little off beat, she gave up structured living to explore music internationally by touring Europe, America and Greenland playing a wide array of styles, from Greenlandic folk music to psychedelic shoegaze rock.

Throw in some good 'ole fashion heartache & heartbreak along the way and the world is presented, ”Celebrating an Imperfect Life”. On Celebrating an Imperfect Life, Sidsel Marie gives us a snapshot into her life – where the sound of music is raw and fragile.

Here the beauty lies in a battered out of tune guitar strumming over raw, expressive vocals. Don't expect to find too many unnecessary phrases that clutter and complicate the picture, because it's Sidsel's journey that's a complicated picture and she's here to tell ALL.

The music of Wolff/Angiuli/Fryland is founded in a solid knowledge of the tradition of jazz. But the trio also encapsulates a fresh approach to this old musical form – resulting in a lyrical and melancholic, yet at the same time energetic and intense sound.

During the past 6 years this trio has performed throughout Europe and in 2008 the trio both toured and recorded with legendary vibraphonist Teddy Charles, receiving great international acclaim by both the press and the public. After completing their studies in The Hague, the trio-members are now spread out over Europe, making this a truly international constellation.
On their new CD Prelude compositions by the trio-members as well as more familiar jazz repertoire are taken into treatment, and the meeting between the passionate south and the melancholic north with a twist of American tradition meets the ear on this recording made in the "Fattoria Musica Studio in Osnabruck, Germany.

Walter Wolff – piano · Francesco Angiuli – double bass · Andreas Fryland – drums
