For these Helsinki Songs, Trygve Seim has taken on pianist Kristian Randalu, double-bassist Mats Eilertsen and drummer Markku Ounaskari. Together, they have cooked up the Norwegian saxophonist's eighth album for ECM, one which puts the accent on lyricism. From the off, the fluidity of Sol’s Song sets the tone for this warm, contemplative, sincere and melodic record that never falls into complacency. Helsinki Songs provide an ever-increasing feeling of wellbeing. Following in the footsteps of Charles Lloyd, Seim's playing tends towards a musical poetry of rare beauty. This is more proof, were it needed, of the talent of this 47-year old musician, who is still sadly under-appreciated… © Clotilde Maréchal/Qobuz
