Mysterier

Andreas Røysum Ensemble is out with their third album. The band tours Europe with youthful energy interspersed with wisdom. "Mysterier" (“Mysteries”) is a frisky and timeless jazz record from 12 passionate soloists in hi-fi resolution from the legendary studio Athletic Sound.

The band's previous record was praised in The Wire: "There's an endearing raggedness to the performances, with overlapping, bobbing and weaving themes that nod to both Ayler's Swedish folk-informed, string-driven pieces and Don Cherry's mid-1960s extended suites.”

And after a concert at the Oslo Jazz Festival in 2023, Norwegian Jazznytt editor Audun Vinger wrote: "Andreas Røysum Ensemble with vocalists is concert-Norway's biggest happy pill." And added a few words about Røysum himself: "For being so eccentric, he has great potential to become a folk hero, the public loves his physique and his hellish gentleness, as if with a joy mixed with horror."
