{"product_id":"2l087-quiet-winter-night","title":"Quiet Winter Night","description":"\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuiet Winter Night\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e from the \u003cstrong\u003eHoff Ensemble\u003c\/strong\u003e is an album of music that features \"Jazz, Folk and Beyond\". Quiet Winter Night is one of 2L's best selling albums of all time.\r\n\r\nThe Hoff Ensemble consists of some of Norway's finest jazz and session musicians, fronted by trumpeter \u003cstrong\u003eMathias Eick\u003c\/strong\u003e, of \u003cstrong\u003eECM\u003c\/strong\u003e renown, who plays a leading role in several of the compositions. The ensemble's basic quartet features legendary veteran bassist \u003cstrong\u003eArild Andersen\u003c\/strong\u003e and arranger \u003cstrong\u003eJan Gunnar Hoff\u003c\/strong\u003e on piano. Hoff has performed with his own group since 1993, collaborating with such artists as \u003cstrong\u003eMike Stern\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePat Metheny\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMaria Joao\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAlex Acuna\u003c\/strong\u003e.\r\n\r\nThis time in this great Norwegian ensemble he mixes flavors in a \"cross-over\" setting. Eick, with whom Hoff has worked on earlier projects, was the obvious first choice for Quiet Winter Night, along with Andersen and the rest of the band, complemented by Rune Arnesen (ex N.P.Molvær) on percussion and Børge Petersen-Øverleir, Norway's leading session guitarist.\r\n\r\nBrilliant fiddle player Annbjørg Lien is an exciting addition to the Hoff Ensemble, giving Quiet Winter Night a sound that is definitely Nordic with elements of jazz, folk and beyond, making this an interesting and original journey. On some of the instrumental tracks, like \"Blågutten\", Eick and Petersen-Øverleir create an overall jazz\/fusion sound, while the trio setting of \"Redd Mamma\" is reminiscent of the work of Sweden's Jan Johansson. \"Hva skal hende nå\" bears comparison with Metheny's ballad form, yet with a more rock-influenced guitar sound. This tune also includes a great bass solo by Andersen.\r\n\r\nThe music is created by film composers Geir Bøhren and Bent Åserud and among the vocalists are some of Norway's top names (and Universal artists) in popular music: Helene Bøksle, Åsne Valland Nordli, Sondre Bratland, Unni Wilhelmsen, Tomine Harket, Bjørn Johan Muri, Cecilia Vennersten and Bjørn Eidsvåg.\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eHoff Ensemble\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nJan Gunnar Hoff - Piano \u0026amp; Arranger\r\nMathias Eick - Trumpet\r\nArild Andersen - Bass","brand":"2L","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739274359108,"sku":"2L087-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739274391876,"sku":"2L087-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739274424644,"sku":"2L087-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739274457412,"sku":"2L087-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739274490180,"sku":"2L087-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739274522948,"sku":"2L087-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739274555716,"sku":"2L087-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739274588484,"sku":"2L087-18","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739274621252,"sku":"2L087-19","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739274654020,"sku":"2L087-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739274686788,"sku":"2L087-23","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310446453060,"sku":"2L087-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337558958404,"sku":"2L087S1417","price":27.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337558991172,"sku":"2L087S1517","price":29.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337559023940,"sku":"2L087S1617","price":33.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337559056708,"sku":"2L087S69","price":29.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337559089476,"sku":"2L087S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/2L087-1.jpg?v=1790521607","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/2l087-quiet-winter-night","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
