Geir Lysne is famous for acoustic big-band composition, but with New Circle the Norwegian original revisits past triumphs with a different lineup, this computer-enhanced sextet, although guitarist Nguyên Lê and vocalist Huong Tranh from Vietnam figure on a long guest list. Weaving brass and high-reeds textures reminiscent of Gil Evans or Mike Gibbs often surf on intense contemporary-urban percussion, and Lysne wraps African and worldbeat grooves around jazz phrasing and traditional songs with a flair that recalls the late Joe Zawinul. The fastmoving Please Welcome! fizzes with lashing backbeats and the riffing horn-section mimicry of gifted programmer of Reidar Skår. African percussion, folk jigs and 1970s Miles Davis merge on the composer's bow to the Jungle Book python, Kaa, and Tranh's haunting tone-bends drift in and out of Lê's glistening chords on A Million Stars. The slowly anthemic 22 (a reflection on Norway's Utoya massacre) represents Lysne at his most patiently eloquent, and if New Circle occasionally feels like a world tour that the computer resources have probably tempted him into, Lysne is nevertheless a composer of real clout, and makes fresh use of them.
