Yggdrasil Two suites by Kristian Blak: Heygar og Dreygar: Ernst Dalsgarð (fl), John Tchicai (s), Lennart Kullgren (g), Kristian Blak (p), Anders Jormin (b), Karin Korpelainen (dr, perc) Heygar og Dreygar contains seven tracks composed by Kristian Blak. Each tune is an aural painting that conjures up unreal, fabulous creatures, dwarfs and witches living on these magical islands. In addition to the well-known reedman John Tchicai, this record features two more wonderful musicians - flutist Dalsgarð with his fresh original folk sound and bassist Jormin, who delivers both a solid beat and beutifully melodic solos.
