Bushman's Revenge - Jitterbug

Even Helte Hermansen: guitar Rune Nergaard: bass Gard Nilssen: drums Ståle Storløkken: Hammond organ on track 2 and 3 Like great records from Elephant9, Scorch Trio, Supersilent, In The Country, Spunk, Fire! and others, ”Jitterbug” was recorded in the old fashioned way, meaning the musicians playing together and interacting live in the studio with few or no overdubs. With classic recording studios closing down all over the world, this way of recording could indeed soon be a thing of the past, and the world of music would be a poorer place for it. Like with players such as John Coltrane, Albert Ayler and John McLaughlin there´s a fine line between chaos and spiritual ecstasy, one that Bushman´s Revenge tread with great success. Only in their mid twenties, there´s still an untamed, raw and punky energy at play. But after a number of live dates since the release of their previous album, they have matured as individual musicians and as a collective, coming across more focused, with plenty of great interplay and instrumental skills. There´s even room for a couple of beautifully reflective ballads, showing a sensitive side to this otherwise hardhitting, energetic trio. While their previous album was somewhat lazily described as a mix of Black Sabbath and Albert Ayler, we are more inclined to agree with the Jazzwise review who likened them to Jeff Beck being backed by Elvin Jones. Jimi Hendrix and Mitch Mitchell also springs to mind, same with Red period King Crimson.
