Elephant9 - Walk The Nile (2010)

Elephant9 are the prog-psych-jazz-rock Norwegian trio of keyboardist Stale Storlokken, bassist Nicolai Eilersten, and drummer Torstein Lofthus, all of whom were culled together from separate bands, Supersilent, National Bank, and Shining, respectively. Bands I know nothing about. "The instrumental group's heady blend of mid-70's Miles Davis, Deep Purple and Medeski, Martin and Wood has drawn considerable praise from both the jazz and rock communities worldwide." - Allmusic.com


Elephant9 somehow manage to blend vintage and contemporary sound effortlessly and come out with an aesthetic truly original and enjoyable.
