トリオ編成の新録!!バスクラリネット、コントラバスクラリネット、西アフリカ マリの弦楽器ドンソンゴニ、グナワで使用される楽器ギンブリなどを操るスウェーデンのミュージシャンであり作曲家、ドン・チェリーのコラボレーター、強靭アンサンブル"ボロン・バタ"のファウンダー、そして1980年に結成されたガーナ北西部の葬儀の伝統を音楽的に解釈し演奏する"Bitter Funeral Beer Band"へも加わる事となる、本国ヨーテボリ出身の怪物アーティストChrister Bothen。83歳になった現在も尚精力的な活動を続けており、本作はビブラフォン奏者Kjell Nordeson、ベーシストKansan Zetterberg、トリオ編成での録音を披露した2025年録音。静寂と激しさの間を行き来、深い信頼と流動性をもって繰り広げられる期待以上の高内容。





Christer Bothén’s artistry transcends genre, tradition, and the tangible. A key figure in avant-garde jazz and global improvisation, he has spent decades exploring sound’s spiritual depth. From playing in Don Cherry’s groundbreaking Organic Music Society to leading expansive projects, Bothén has embraced the unknown, continuously reshaping his musical language.

At 83, Bothén remains deeply engaged, crafting L'INVISIBLE, a trio album with vibraphonist (and drummer) Kjell Nordeson and bassist Kansan Zetterberg. Themes emerge and dissolve as the trio improvises with deep trust and fluidity, conjuring dreamlike textures that move between meditative stillness and surging intensity.

Still evolving, still searching, Bothén continues to shape music that is as elusive as it is essential.
