 | | Description: | Rainbow Sessions is an album by Ketil Bjornstad, released in 2019. Rainbow Sessions includes a.o. the following tracks: â??The Storyâ?, â??To Fannyâ?, â??A Sudden Thoughtâ?, â??Undergroundâ? and more. The album is a jazz 4-CD. - Ketil Bjørnstad celebrates 50 years as a musician and artist in 2019. Bjørnstad's 50th anniversary as an artist kicks off with a reissue of "Rainbow Sessions", earlier released as a limited edition in 2006. This is Ketil Bjørnstad's homage to the world known Rainbow Studios and the Steinway grand piano. When studio owner and sound guru Jan Erik Kongshaug in 2004 was moving the studio to a new location, the idea to make the last to record in the old studio and the first to play in the new was born. Two solo piano albums were planned, at the time it turned into three, and for this release evolves into four. This celebratory edition consists of five different Rainbow sessions recorded in the period 2013-2017, which Bjørnstad has put together into a fourth bonus album. Everything is presented in a new, wonderful design, accompanied by newly written liner notes by Bjørnstad.The Long Farewell: Recorded on Wednesday 23rd June 2004 in the old Rainbow Studio, Oslo, Norway.
The Rainbow: Recorded on Monday 9th August 2004 in the new Rainbow Studio, Oslo, Norway.
The Way Through The Woods: Recorded on Monday 20th December 2004 in the new Rainbow Studio, Oslo, Norway.
The Third Instrument: Recorded March 2013 - June 2017 during five different sessions in Rainbow Studio, Oslo, Norway."Rainbow Sessions" on CD from Grappa is a carefully curated audio journey that places musical diversity and tonal color at its core. Across its tracks, the album explores a broad spectrum of moods and styles, much like a rainbow unfolding in sound: from intimate, contemplative pieces to more vibrant, rhythmically driven moments. The sequencing is designed to make the album feel like one coherent listening experience rather than just a loose collection of songs, making it ideal for both focused listening and relaxed background enjoyment.
Since this is a mixed recording featuring various artists and/or different stylistic approaches, "Rainbow Sessions" focuses less on a single star performer and more on the interplay of genres, timbres and atmospheres. The compilation showcases contrasts between acoustic and more produced sounds, between warm, organic arrangements and modern, nuanced production aesthetics. Listeners can expect a stylistic palette that may range from gentle, melody-driven tracks to subtly experimental pieces, always unified by a consistent sense of quality and musical refinement.
Grappa, the label behind "Rainbow Sessions", is known for its dedication to artistic integrity, careful production and thoughtfully compiled releases. Instead of chasing short-lived trends, the company focuses on projects that offer lasting listening value, high recording standards and well-crafted editorial concepts. With "Rainbow Sessions", Grappa underlines this philosophy by presenting a CD whose strength lies in its musical breadth and its coherent overall concept.
The CD format emphasizes a tangible, collectable character: cover art, booklet and track listing contribute to the experience of discovering the album as a complete work. "Rainbow Sessions" is aimed at listeners who appreciate diversity and nuance in music, and who enjoy discovering how different colors and textures of sound can be woven into a harmonious whole. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
