Dive into the raw and unfiltered world of free jazz with 1982's self-titled debut album, released on January 1, 2009, through Øyvind Jazzforum. This compact yet powerful collection clocks in at just 36 minutes, but don't let its brevity fool you—this is an album that demands your full attention from start to finish.
1982 delivers five tracks of intense, improvisational jazz that push the boundaries of conventional music. The album opens with a 17-minute epic, setting the tone for the rest of the record with its complex interplay and spontaneous energy. The remaining tracks, ranging from just under three minutes to nearly seven, showcase the band's versatility and prowess, each one a unique journey into the heart of free jazz.
Despite the album's 2009 release, the name 1982 adds an air of mystery. Perhaps it's a nod to a significant year in the band's history, or maybe it's a reference to the timeless spirit of jazz. Whatever the reason, it's clear that 1982 is a band that values substance over style, focusing on the pure, unadulterated power of their music.
So, if you're ready to experience free jazz in its purest form, look no further than 1982. This is an album that will challenge, inspire, and ultimately leave you craving more.
