"Absolutely captivating."✨
PointBreak.fr calls Spring Flood "absolutely captivating," praising Mariam Wallentin's singular voice and the Vestnorsk Jazzensemble's vibrant, colourful playing. 🌸

"...the passionate struggle between precision and mystery, between the joy of dancing and the necessity of finding oneself knocked out—yet still standing."

Thank you for the wonderful review!

“This is a delightful collection and one which offers more with every listen. Spring Flood is a perfect moment in time captured over forty-eight hours and you would imagine they then make their separate ways; but what a two days they were.”

Thank you, Mr Olivetti, for this wonderful review of Mariam Wallentin & Vestnorsk Jazzensemble's Spring Flood on Freq.✨

"Mariam Wallentin unleashed the Vestnorsk Jazzensemble on a collection of diary entries. The result is both fresh and powerful." - 5 out of 6 for Spring Flood in Dagsavisen ✨🌿

"There's nothing sketch-like about the outcome, quite the opposite, it's a highly successful work. It has a wild, vibrant quality, playfully balancing quiet poetic moods with a rawer expression that perfectly complements Wallentin's rich and distinctive voice." - Espen Løkeland-Stai

"A remarkable album" Elena Raguei writes about Mariam Wallentin & Vestnorsk Jazzensemble´s new album in Sentireascoltare ✨🌿

"The album unfolds and blossoms through seven original compositions and one cover version, balancing grace and pathos, body and nature. The opening one-two punch is remarkable: Blanket Dance begins quietly before, after about three and a half minutes, opening into a swirling vortex of strings, electric textures, harp, and breathtaking brass. Basel evokes the season of spring and the story behind the album cover through shimmering tenderness, indie-inflected guitars, and a vocal performance of the highest caliber."

Full reveiw here:

Meritevole collaborazione per Mariam Wallentin (Wildbirds & Peacedrums, Fire! Orchestra, Mariam The Believer) e l'ensemble norvegese, tra jazz e avanguardia, improvvisazione e poesia, corpo e natura
