The particular rapport within this grouping is expressed by Christine (composer of half of this album's material), describing the environment as being less about soloing, but with an emphasis on the question, 'How are we all going to dive into this pool and swim together.' The resulting immersion, recorded in the studio across two days, sounds both live and organic.\u003c\/p\u003e \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe conversational feel which pervades this album's sixty-eight minutes is illustrated in opening track 'Blue Yonder', where Ingrid's mellifluous trumpet technique (sounded through her custom-created flugel-cupped mouthpiece and 'flumpet' bell) melds with Christine's warm, legato alto to conjure the aura of a wordless vocal. Such grace is echoed by the often understated though lynchpin presence of Ben Monder (whose effect is explained by Christine as 'something which is intimate, yet full of the future'); and that same quiet fire is evident in grittier, rock-tinged 'Swirlaround' and a freewheeling, even punkish interpretation of Kenny Wheeler's 'Old Time'.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Ingrid Jensen (trumpet, effects, kalimba and melodica), Christine Jensen (alto \u0026amp; soprano saxophones), Ben Monder (electric and hammertone guitar), Fraser Hollins (double bass), Jon Wikan (drums)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue Yonder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwirlaround\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEcholalia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOctofolk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuo Space\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld Time\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHopes Trail\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrio Garden\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMargareta\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDots And Braids\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55083396268417,"sku":"603200","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/517dh5mj_0L._SL1500.jpg?v=1765571856","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/603200","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
