{"product_id":"ellen-wang-andrea-closeness-cd","title":"Ellen Wang Andrea – Closeness (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOslo's Ellen Andrea Wang occupies a rare space in contemporary Scandinavian jazz, where her work as both a composer and bassist carries equal weight. Closeness arrives at a moment when Nordic jazz has never been more globally attentive, and Wang's voice within that scene is one of the most distinctive, threading intimacy and restraint into music that quietly insists you lean in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in Norway, Bassist and singer Ellen Andrea Wang has been a powerful force in Jazz and beyond, distinguishing herself as a truly inventive artist that blends styles in unprecedented ways. From collaboration with Sting, Manu Katché, and Marilyn Mazur, to performances at major Jazz Festivals, to her appearance with the vocal Jazz Group GURLS, to her own projects Pixel and the Ellen Andrea Wang Trio, Wang has consistently sought to tastefully blend Jazz and Pop in new ways. Her compositions and performance balance the the lyrical with the rough, the acoustic with the electric, resulting in a unique modern sound.  Ellen Andrea Wang's third studio album, Closeness, features Wang on double bass and vocals, with Rob Luft on guitar and Jon Fält on Drums. In what now seems prescient, the album is a an adventurous mix of traditional spirituals, soothing in their delivery, longing and personal compositions, and two carefully selected covers from Ornette Coleman (Lonely Woman) and Pat Metheny (This Is Not America). The connection between the musicians is quite evident as they approach each song with patience and absolute care for the art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Erasmus (8:49)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Closeness (5:49)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Nobody Knows (5:25)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Strange Flower (5:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Waiting For Ellinor (2:01)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Recognise (8:26)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Lonely Woman (5:41)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. This Is Not America (4:34)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Wayfaring Stranger (5:27)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 748926813921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ropeadope\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.9.20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48875238064283,"sku":"63500208","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-ellen-wang-andrea-closeness-cd-relix.jpg?v=1783375673","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/ellen-wang-andrea-closeness-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
