O’s Notes: German composer, producer and keyboardist J. Peter Schwalm teams up with Norwegian Arve Henriksen (t, perc, voice) for Neuzeit, a world jazz-fusion album. This is a somewhat sedated set, suitable for meditation, reflection, relaxation, and just overall good listening. Schwalm intended the music to be an emergence, following the massive disruption of the pandemic, inspiring many new possibilities. COVID impacted the recording process but the duo persisted to arrive at a meaningful product.
