Magical moments for planet earth and the rest of the universe. Karl Seglem and his band are giving nordic folk and jazz a new musical tongue. In Urbs the tenor sax and goathorn player is going again on a visionary journey through northern landscapes and cities, where he is melting nordic cool with southern heat. "After an exciting autumn filled with a massive amount of new and wonderful Norwegian jazz, Karl Seglem tops it all with 'Urbs'. Fewmusicians, if any, have managed to generate as fertile a meeting point for tradition and innovation as the tireless west-coaster." - Bjørn Olav Nordahl, DAGENS NÆRINGSLIV

"In many ways, Seglem is now the most obvious heir of the previous Norwegian 'pioneers' abroad, such as Jan Garbarek and Mari Boine, in the way he combines a clear identity with a broad viewpoint and innovative compositions. Just listen to the hypnotic appeal of 'Urbs'." - Mode Steinkjer, DAGSAVISEN

 Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
