Baritone Landscape
Baritone Landscape is a solo album by John Pål Inderberg.
Critical reception
Barytone saxophone is an unusual solo instrument. Reviewer Tomas Lauvland Pettersen on Listen to Norway, states: "On the aptly titled Baritone Landscape he has gathered a crew of formidable players to explore what could loosely be described as the Tristano School. Joining in on the unorthodox key changes and augmented chords is piano player Vigleik Storaas, bassist Sondre Meisfjord and drummer Ernst Wiggo Sandbakk – all highly respected players with a strong background from Trondheim’s Jazz Conservatory. Inderberg is one of the few baritone players to attempt the challenging multi-noted theme statements and serpentine-like solos, which form such important aspects of Tristano’s work. Most will agree that he has succeeded in his attempt".The review by Terje Mosnes of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album dice 5.
