Jim Snidero: For All We Know (Savant) Jim Snidero: alto saxophone Peter Washington: double bass Joe Farnsworth: drums This past weekend, while most people on my social media time lines seemed to be at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, Tennessee, I went to the Vossa Jazz Festival, which has been held in Vossevangen, Voss, since 1974 (although founded in 1973). Much smaller in scale than Big Ears, but no less artistically ambitious in its programming, often centered around seeking common ground between jazz idioms, folk music and ethnic music from around the globe. This year, I was lucky to experience mind blowing concerts by, among others, Emmeluth’s Amoeba, David Murray/Ingebrigt Håker Flaten/Paal Nilssen-Love, William Parker’s Mayan Space Station and Ole Morten Vågan Mirror Image, to mention only a few. I’m in the process of finalizing my report from that weekend for Musikkmagasinet, and may post translated snippets from that after it’s been published in the papaer edition.
