Boneshaker
Trioen Boneshaker representerer den typen kraftfull musikk vi ofte forbinder med Mats Gustafsson og Peter Brötzmann – og ikke minst med den norske trommeslageren Paal Nilssen-Love. Nå kommer Paal til Kongsberg med en relativt ny trio der han har med seg musikere han spilte med i den sagnomsuste tentetten til Brötzmann. Saksofonisten Mars Williams er et uroppkomme av vitalitet og kraft, og nettopp vitalitet og kraft er ord vi kan feste på Kent Kessler og Paal Nilssen-Love også.
Trioen turnerte Nord-Amerika i løpet av våren 2014, men det var ikke før vinteren 2016 de tre var sammen igjen i Chicago for en ny runde med konserter og en studio session. Resultatet vil bli utgitt av Trost Records, denne gangen på både vinyl og CD. Utgivelsen blir på forsommeren 2016, i forbindelse med festival konserter i Europa.
Boneshaker kommer definitivt til å demonstrere for publikummet på Kongsberg hvorfor de heter akkurat det.
Mars Williams (saksofoner), Kent Kessler (bass), Paal Nilssen-Love (trommer).

In English:
Boneshaker was established some 5 years ago when the three met for a handful of concerts and recording sessions around the Chicago area in early January 2011. The three musicians knew each well through various bands like Hal Russel´s NRG ensemble, Peter Brötzmann´s Chicago tentet, Territory band and had since 2002 wanted to do something together. The trio´s debut album was released on the Austrian label Trost and received brilliant reviews in international press such as The Wire, Downbeat and more. The trio toured North America in spring 2014 but it was not until winter 2016 the three were together again in Chicago for another round of concerts and studio session. The result will be released by Trost records, this time on both vinyl and CD by early summer 2016, in connection with festival concerts in Europe.
The trio’s music remains free improvised, but with clear roots to the American tradition of free jazz. Although all three members are influenced by European improvised music as defined by the English, Dutch and German players of the mid sixties, the three share broad interests in music traditions from all over the world and appreciate when influences are let loose.
This is a very exciting and much welcome blast of old school free jazz energy from a collective group featuring Mars Williams on saxophones, Kent Kessler on bass and Paal Nilssen-Love on drums. Each has deep experience on the outer fringes of the jazz scene and they make for a very cohesive and potent unit.
