O’s Notes: Ole Amund Gjersvik plays bass and composed and arranged all of the music on All Together Now, his latest release. Ole is Norwegian and brings a different perspective to the jazz scene, a fresh take that is a dose of warm sunshine in Scandinavia and a cool swinging breeze for the New Yorkers. There are many good songs among the fifteen selections. We liked the subtle reggae beats of “An Old Fashion New Fashion Blues”, “Ulriken”, “Bass Blues” and “Ten Bar Ballad” to name a few.
