"Kend Løg (Well Known Tunes)1 & 2" are a selection of Alex Bærendsen's gospel recordings with John Tchicai (ts, ss, voc), Anders Hagberg (fl, ss, ts), Lelle Kullgren (g, voc), Kristian Blak (p), Yasuhito Mori (b), Christian Jormin (dr), Johannus á Rógvu Joensen (el-b) "Brøytingar" is about change, about the inevitability of destruction in the name of progress. It is the reason that the melodies Blak has written are tinged with a sense of wistful melancholy. (Robert Iannapollo, Cadence, USA) Since first hearing his work some three and a half years ago, I have looked forward to each new installment from the Faroe Islands - Kristian Blak's strong, melodic "nature jazz" mixing jazz with traditional folk and taped & live sounds of wind and water, birds and beasts. It was in a state of mild shock then that I sat after my first playing of "Brøytingar". (Bill Grant, Trans FM, Ontario, Canada) Music by Blak.
