The Blessing Light: for John StevensFrode Gjerstad (Alto Saxophone), Oyvind Storsund (Bass), Paal Nilssen-Love (Drums)At the time this presented both a new group and platform for Frode, who dedicated the music to his deceased former partner, John Stevens. To quote from the liner notes, “Few sax men alive give the saxophone a workout like Frode Gjerstad. Not just a hell-bent for leather workout, but an excursion with purpose and logic to complement its power and lunge.”

BorealisFrode Gjerstad (Tenor Saxophone), Didrik Ingvaldsen (Trumpet), Oyvind Torvund (Guitar), Oyvind Storesund (Acoustic Bass), John Lilja (Acoustic Bass), Endre Landsnes (Drums), Paal Nilssen-Love (Drums)Here’s Frode with his large group. As the liners say, “Each Frode Gjerstad date has its own concept of focus and addresses itself freshly to those terms.” So say the liners. So says the music.

Side By SideFrode Gjerstad, Paal Nilssen-LoveFrode Gjerstad needs no introduction. As one of the most dynamic reedmen in the world, not to mention his native Norway, he has been recorded prolifically and is always interesting. Along with associate Paal Nilssen-Love, the duo "concentrates on the smaller sounds." Not to be confused with pointillism or ambient music this is nevertheless big music of interest.
