Nils Petter Molvaer: Khmer Live In Bergen

Khmer Live: A live reinterpretation of his groundbreaking 1998 album "Khmer", originally released by ECM. This album redefined modern jazz with its hypnotic blend of cool electronic understatement, world music and raw, rocking energy. Khmer Live is a live reinterpretation that captures Molvaer's relentless sonic exploration, combining the unbridled energy of the live performance with a fresh perspective on the classic album that once blurred the lines between ambient cool and soulful power. "Khmer" was groundbreaking at the time, an album that broke conventions and still echoes through the corridors of modern jazz today. Dave Stapleton looks back on Nils' unique sound and his storied legacy: "Nils Petter's voice is truly unique. His early influence on European jazz in the 2000s marked just the beginning of a bold and varied musical journey. Since then, he has built a discography that establishes him as one of Europe's greatest musicians. He is not limited to the label 'jazz musician', but is an improviser whose expansive music exudes raw power, atmosphere and an emotional depth that touches deeply."
