Ballister

Ballister is a super strong free jazz trio with:
Dave Rempis – saxophones
Fred Lonberg-Holm – cello/electronics
Paal Nilssen-Love – drums

They have released two albums, both of them recorded live in Chicago in 2010:
"Bastard String" (Own company 2010, 600 copies, now available as download from Candy Dinner).
"Mechanisms" (Clean Feed 2012).

These fine musicians are dynamite, and Lonberg-Holm´s cello is making this sound real special.
Just buy the albums, right now!

Covers: Lasse Marhaug.

PNL Records

Paal Nilssen-Love, who must be Norway´s hardest working drummer, has got his own record company too, called PNL Records.
The latest from the company, to arrive in this house, is a duo with Nilssen-Love and and Terrie Ex (guitar), recorded in 2009. Four tracks, ten - fourteen minutes long, containing improv, noise jazz and rock in a fine mix.
Coverdesign as usual by Lasse Marhaug, and painting by Gebrekristos Solomon (Ethiopia).

Most releases on PNL are CDs, but they throw in some vinyl for change (pressed in limited quantities). A couple of the records have been released in cooperation with Pica Disk.
The closer you get to Paal Nilssen-Love, either on earth or in cyberspace, the easier to get the albums.

So far, I believe this is the complete PNL discography (please correct me, if I´m wrong):

ADA Trio

Peter Brötzmann, Paal Nilssen-Love, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Steve Noble @ Cafe Oto, London, 20th February 2012 from Fabio Lugaro on Vimeo.

ADA Trio is Fred-Lonberg Holm (cello, bass), Peter Brötzmann (sax) and Paal Nilssen-Love (dr).
They have been touring recently, and on the video they are playing at London´s Café Oto, with drummer Steve Noble joining. The Liminal reviews that concert.

I sure hope they will be touring again!

ADA Trio released an album on PNL in 2011, and why not read a review over at Free Jazz, before you go looking for it.
