███▌ Release ▀ ███
██▓▀ ███
██▓ Not yet 30, Mathias Eick has racked up an ▓██
██▓ impressive number of appearances on ECM, including ▓██
██▓ guitarist Jacob Young's Evening Falls (2004) and ▓██
██▓ Sideways (2008), drummer Manu Katche''s Playground ▓██
██▓ (2007) and pianist/harpist Iro Haarla's outstanding ▓██
██▓ Northbound (2005). But that's only the tip of the ▓██
██▓ iceberg, with the Norwegian trumpeter appearing on ▓██
██▓ over fifty albums ranging from jazz to flat-out ▓██
██▓ rock and roll. So while some musicians his age ▓██
██▓ aren't yet ready to fly solo, Eick has more than ▓██
██▓ paid his dues, a fact made abundantly clear on The ▓██
██▓ Door. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Assembling a group familiar to fans of ECM and ▓██
██▓ Norwegian labels including Jazzland and Rune ▓██
██▓ Grammofon, Eick's debut as a leader is remarkable ▓██
██▓ for its avoidance of technology, a defining ▓██
██▓ aesthetic for so many of his musical peers. Audun ▓██
██▓ Erlien may use an electric bass, and pianist Jon ▓██
██▓ Balke augments his experimentation inside the body ▓██
██▓ of the grand piano with occasional use of Fender ▓██
██▓ Rhodes, but The Door avoids any kind of ▓██
██▓ processingùreal-time or post-productionùand there's ▓██
██▓ no sign of Pro Tools being used to doctor what is ▓██
██▓ largely a live-in-the-studio (and, in many cases, ▓██
██▓ first take) recording. Occasional guitar and ▓██
██▓ vibraphone overdubs by Eick and Erlien are felt ▓██
██▓ more than heard, while Farmers Market's Stian ▓██
██▓ Carstensen expands the soundscape with some spare ▓██
██▓ pedal steel on three tunes. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Eick's tone may be redolent of the ▓██
██▓ timbre-stretching approaches of Nils Petter Molv?r ▓██
██▓ and Arve Henriksen, but it also displays a ▓██
██▓ classical purity and a hint of Kenny Wheeler's ▓██
██▓ melancholy lyricism, creating a voice that's ▓██
██▓ become, in a very short time, as distinctly ▓██
██▓ recognizable as his sources. Despite unmistakable ▓██
██▓ chops, Eick's style has always been defined by a ▓██
██▓ strong predilection for melody and, with The Door's ▓██
██▓ eight self-penned compositions, he proves the ▓██
██▓ aesthetic behind his playing is in equal force ▓██
██▓ while composing. Whether it's the folkloric theme ▓██
██▓ of the title trackùa nod to influential saxophonist ▓██
██▓ Jan Garbarek's purity in every note and sense of ▓██
██▓ purpose in every phraseùor the hauntingly beautiful ▓██
██▓ ôPorvoo,ö which closes the album as a deceptively ▓██
██▓ simple but evocative duet with Balke, Eick's music ▓██
██▓ is all about exploring melody and its every ▓██
██▓ possible nooks and crannies. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ As lyrical as The Door is, Eick's philosophy of ▓██
██▓ collective energy and interaction ensures maximum ▓██
██▓ freedom all around. Drummer Audun Kleive may drive ▓██
██▓ the early part of ôStavangerö with a strong ▓██
██▓ backbeat, but it's still a free-wheeling exchange ▓██
██▓ featuring the often reticent Balke's most ▓██
██▓ extroverted playing in years, before Eick enters ▓██
██▓ with a simple, singable melody that temporarily ▓██
██▓ pulls back the dynamic, before leading to another ▓██
██▓ climax built around the power of space and potency ▓██
██▓ of nuance. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ With his warm tone, selfless allegiance to the ▓██
██▓ collective, and personal nexus of lyrical form and ▓██
██▓ freedom, Eick is the most important trumpeter to ▓██
██▓ emerge from the Scandinavian scene since Henriksen ▓██
██▓ and Molv?r. Dogmatic in conception, The Door is all ▓██
██▓ human in nature, delivering mightily on the promise ▓██
██▓ of Eick's earlier ECM appearances. ▓██
