With Spring Flood, Mariam Wallentin and Vestnorsk Jazzensemble present a collective work in which improvisation, poetry, and vivid imagery merge into a living, organic expression.
The album originates from Wallentin’s stay in Basel in the spring of 2023. There, with the Rhine as a constant sonic backdrop, a series of diary notes began to take shape. She brought these fragments to Bergen, where she met the West Norwegian Jazz intended as rehearsals, the sessions took place in a studio — Mariam realized the opportunity had to be seized. She out the crumpled notes from Basel she had in her bag, now almost distilled into lyrical fragments, small clouds of chords, memories and impressions.
Over the course of just two days in the studio, they shaped and explored these ideas together into something collective, through openness, presence, deep listening, and intuitive result is an album consisting of seven original pieces and a rare cover, moving between the tender and the insistent, the airy and the electrified.
The music can whisper like grass or surge like a spring flood — where red symbolizes tenderness, blue melancholy, and everything revolves around the longing that spring awakens within us.
