“I Told You In October“ (J. Young)

“I Told You In October“ (J. Young) Dancer & Choreographer: Anais Touret Cinematographer: Andre Clemetsen Editor: Ninja Benneche A Jacob Young Music Production/ ECM Records. Guitar: Jacob Young Bass: Mats Eilertsen Drums: Audun Kleive The new album ’Eventually’ by Jacob Young, Mats Eilertsen and Audun Kleive is now available on CD: Jacob Young ’s fourth leader-recording for ECM not only presents the guitarist’s first pass as the guitar trio format, but moreover offers a broader view of his compositional pallet, as he, bassist Mats Eilertsen and drummer Audun Kleive explore a wide variety of pulsations, temperaments and styles, all tied together by Jacob’s always melodic embrace. On his last effort, 2015’s Forever Young, the guitarist was joined by Trygve Seim and the Marcin Wasilewski Trio, performing what The Guardian called, “a set full of undemonstrative surprises and contrasts”, where “the quality of the composing matches the formidable powers of the band.” Eventually continues that record’s gentle lyricism, while Audun Kleive’s percussive injections add counterpoint to Jacob’s in turns balladic and more rhythmically overt elaborations, lending this set its sharp edge. Longtime partner Mats Eilertsen, who appeared on Jacob’s label debut Evening Falls (2004) and Sideways (2007), contributes a confident foundation, simultaneously complementing and challenging his colleagues in a vivid, contemporary jazz programme.
