Iain Ballamy (sax) と Thomas Strønen (per) のデュオ Food が Nils Petter Molvæer (tp) と巻上公一 (voice, theremin) をゲストに迎えて来日公演を行う。元々1年前に予定されていて、東日本大震災のため延期になっていたものだ。

Food は Christian Fennesz, Nils Petter Molvær, Eivind Aarset, Prakash Sontakke をゲストに迎えた新作を録音済だが、発売元が ECM なので、来日公演までに完成したりはしないと思われる。

>> Thomas Strønen
Food, duo of Iain Ballamy (sax) and Thomas Strønen (per), will tour in Japan in April with Nils Petter Molvæer (tp) and Makigami Koichi (voice, theremin), which has been postponed due to the Great East Japan Earthquake last spring.

19. April 2012 (Thu) @ Pit Inn, Tokyo >>

Food has already recorded a new album with Christian Fennesz, Nils Petter Molvær, Eivind Aarset and Prakash Sontakke. I assume it won't be out prior to the Japan tour, as it is to be out on ECM Records for which a record production normally takes long time as you know.

Norwegian pianist Andreas Ulvo will come to Japan to play solo in March. As far as I know a date at Candy in Inage, Chiba, on Friday, 9. March has already been confirmed. More dates will be posted upon announcement. He did tours in Japan as a member of saxphonist Frøy Aagre's band as well as with his own group Eple Trio. Besides as a musician, he is also known as a phtographer.

Årets hederpris (名誉賞)
Jan Eggum

Årets Spelleman (大賞)
Bernhoft

今回の授賞式での一番の話題は受賞者でもライブ演奏でもなく、ヒットソング賞を受賞した Plumbo が受賞スピーチで肌の色に関する差別発言をしたことだった。個人的にはその発言そのものより、それに対する非難の大きさのほうに強い印象を受けた。

>> Spellemannprisen
The biggest topic at the ceremony was not any of the performances nor the names of the winners, but the speech of Plumbo who was awarded "the hit song of the year", in which they discriminated against colour. The accusation against it was stronger than you may expect. Impressed.
