BUILDING INSTRUMENT

The Norwegian trio Building Instrument has taken its time to record its debut album. The Bergen-based trio—featuring vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Mari Kvien Brunvoll, known for her duo with guitarist Stein Urheim, who previously produced two acclaimed albums, Daydream Community and Daydream Twin (both on Jazzland, 2011 and 2013) and her self-titled solo album (also on Jazzland, 2012). These recordings inspired a surprising remix of the song "Everywhere You Go" by DJ Ricardo Villalobos; underrated percussionist Øyvind Hegg-Lunde, member of the Swedish-Norwegian free-improv trio The Big Almost, and The Sweetest Thrill duo with guitarist Stephan Meidell, and keyboard player Åsmund Weltzien who plays in local vocalist Thea Næss' band. www.allaboutjazz.com
