  | BUSHMAN`S REVENGE ~ ALL THE BETTER FOR SEEING YOU
IS IT JAZZ? 264 (Barcode: 7073317000318) ~ NORWAY ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion
Recorded: 2022 Released: 2023
This is the 11th album by Norwegian Jazz / Fusion power trio Bushman`s RevengeFind albums by this artist, which comprises of guitarist Even Helte HermansenFind albums by this artist, bassist Rune NergaardFind albums by this artist and drummer Gard NilssenFind albums by this artist. The album presents six tracks, all of which are original compositions by Hermansen. The album’s release marks the trio’s 20th Anniversary.
The music is quite unique, based on solid melodic tunes and featuring lengthy guitar improvisations backed up by a “heavy” sound created by the rhythm section. The tunes are rather lethargic and develop slowly, which results in something that might be considered as Nordic Fusion.
The discrepancy between the lyrical melodies and the intense heavy, almost Metal sound, creates a strange feeling of tension and anxiety, which is very rarely achieved by music, and therefore makes this music very special. Of course it is pretty far from conventional Jazz, but Fusion listeners should find it quite intriguing, if not fascinating, and of course some Prog fans should also be interested.
Overall, this is an interesting amalgam between Jazzy improvisation and heavy guitar oriented Rock sound, which is unique and uncommon. Recommended for the brave hearted and open-minded listeners, who are ready to explore uncharted territory, sort of Hendrix meets Coltrane in a dark alley in Oslo.
