Search - Eivind Opsvik :: Overseas III

One of the boldest, most exciting and eclectic jazz performers in New York City, Norwegian born bassist Eivind Opsvik blends a daring variety of progressive rock, classical, ambient and electronic influences from Neil Young and Pink Floyd to Brian Eno in creating Overseas III, the third and most compelling and thematically focused project to date by his ensemble Overseas. It features Opsvik with tenor saxman Tony Malaby, drummer/percussionist Kenny Wollesen, keyboardist Jacob Sacks (who plays piano, farfisa organ, Wurlitzer, Fender Rhodes and celeste) and vibraphonist Jeff Davis. Adding a unique organic edginess to their vibe is guest pedal steel guitarist Larry Campbell, who has played for years with the legendary Bob Dylan. Overseas III was recorded and mixed completely analog to tape by famed pop engineer Henry Hirsch, whose superstar credits include Lenny Kravitz, Madonna and Mick Jagger. It comes in a beautiful digipak fold out with cover design by Adam Cruickshank and photography by Michelle Arcila.
