5 out of 5 stars Rypdal's Finest.......2001-07-01

This came out in '78 and pretty much left everything Rypdal had done previously in the dust. Before Waves, Rypdal had spent a few years fine-tuning Miles Davis'jazzfunkfusion legacy (albeit with a pronounced Scandinavian flavor), but Waves is a BIG leap forward, with a truly original & fresh feel & approach. On this record Rypdal's stellar guitar often takes a back seat while trumpet wunderkind Palle Mikkelborg establishes the melodies (Per Ulv and The Dain Curse are a couple of the catchiest melodies in Rypdal's career as a composer)and blows at length. the moody & atmospheric Rypdal we all know & love is here too (Karusell & Charisma)- this record has it all! Jon Christensen on drums is easily up to the challenge throughout. Sveinung Hovensjo on bass is the invisible man here, prefiguring the bass-less lineup on Rypdal's follow up to Waves, Descendre.This record is criminally unknown $ unsung. In my perfect Alternate Universe Terje Rypdal, along with the likes of Frank Zappa and Ralph Towner,is properly acknowledged and revered as the towering guitar master & composer which he truly is in this deeply flawed universe...
