Eivind Opsvik - Overseas V flac album

NYC Bassist Eivind Opsvik returns with the fifth album of his Overseas project, Overseas V, out March 17th, 2017. Few groups and concepts have lasted as long, and have charted as much ground, as Overseas – a perennially hip, cinematic and cutting edge group featuring some of the brightest lights in the world of music: Tony Malaby (tenor sax), Brandon Seabrook (guitar), Jacob Sacks (pianos), and Kenny Wollesen (drums). Eivind Opsvik, born and bred in Norway but resident in New York City for some two decades, has developed an utterly individual musical soundprint, one that blends the song-minded composition and creative studio craft of art rock with the virtuosic edge and spontaneity of progressive jazz.

Eivind Opsvik is known as a jazz bassist, but Overseas, Vol. 4 (like the others in the series) is perhaps closer to soundtrack music than traditional jazz. He seems to be more interested in creating a mood than a lasting melody. To this end, he assembled a very sympathetic band (Tony Malaby/sax, Brandon Seabrook/guitar and mandolin, Jacob Sacks/harpsichord, piano, Farfisa, and Kenny Wollesen/drums, percussion, etc) that really understands what Opsvik is going for. The album starts with a piece that almost sounds like some kind of classical processional with its timpani and harpsichord

Eivind Opsvik (Bassist-composer, producer-engineer) has developed an utterly individual musical soundprint, one that.
