Knee-Deep In the North Sea

by Portico Quartet

supported by

Wisdoms End There is not much jazz in my life, but there is a huge and loving spott for Portico Quartet.
I like the tendency not to overboard everything with complexety but at the same time remain some sort of fascinating song dynamics.
It is simply fun to listen to... also I like the jazz-use of a hang.

ⒻⒸⓋ / 林建 This is a great album! I found it through the BBC Radio 4 show ‘Curious Under the Stars’, and I’m so glad I did!

freejazzy Charming and convincing combination of acoustic instruments. Ostinato elements from the hangs, dancing drums, structuring double bass and a singing and story telling sax - that's entertainment. Favorite track: Knee-Deep In the North Sea.

jthistl3 Cool, minimal and atmospheric. Great to listen to while working and also just for pure enjoyment :) Favorite track: Monsoon: Top to Bottom.

StrangeFlow a really well-planned jazz album with lots of nice steeldrums melodies and wonderful musical themes - and played really tight and dynamic, love this! Favorite track: Knee-Deep In the North Sea.
