Forget the old jokes about a gentleman being ‘someone who can play the accordion but doesn’t’, in Norwegian accordionist Haltli’s hand it’s a gorgeous palate of gentle, mysterious sounds, not a tool of virtuosic boredom. Inspired by Norwegian folk, Haltli’s slow and beautiful music inhabits it’s own little world somewhere between contemporary classical and folk. But with ethereal trumpeter Arve Henriksen on hand, Haltli’s lilting, plaintive music inhales heavily on the spirit of jazz and Eastern music. Sublimely perfect.
