![]() She has traveled the world as a member of the pop band Highasakite. Marte also brings experience from different genres. He has led such diverse bands as the Jazzpunk Ensemble, and the legendary Jon Eberson Group, where he and Sidsel Endresen topped the Norwegian charts. Jon has played everything from standard songs, through free jazz, to rock. Overall, they draw influence from very many genres in jazz, pop and rock. The result is "Between Two Worlds", a musical soundscape where the raw meets the vulnerable, the dreamy meets the dynamic. In addition to the duo, Aksel Skalstad is on drums, Jo Berger Myhre is on bass and Rune Arnesen is on percussion. It was a redemptive creative journey! Here they developed the themes of Empathy, with greater emphasis on the instrumental. ![]() Instead of sitting twiddling their thumbs, Jon suggested that he and Marte go into the studio and make new music. Marte was one of those affected by the gloomy situation. When Norway was shut down, most of the artistic and cultural activity also stopped. It was the pandemic that gave impetus to the recording. What is it, jazz language? A new genre in itself - Jazzerson?” He goes on to write about the single Wounded Wolf: “What I really like is the uniqueness of Eberson's soundscape you do not hear much of this nowadays. Full throttle! Marte plays as if she were Joe Zawinul, Keith Jarret and Chick Corea - in one and the same musician! And Jon as a mix of Billy Gibbons, Jimmy Page and John McLaughlin!” Jazznytt writes about what they call "Eberson's terrific new single "Strange Highway" and believes that: "Eberson obviously has enough petrol in the tank, with a good energy supply from Marte Eberson who now no longer has to miss the old band Highasakite - she does more than enough exciting things on her own." The reviewer in Nordic Music Review mentions all-round musicians who are equally comfortable in different musical styles, and believes that Marte is without a doubt a "Nordic Queen" of the genre. Arild Rønsen in Puls writes, among other things: “Strange Highway is composed by father and daughter. ![]() Two singles have been released thus far, garnering great reviews. The expectations for the new album are high. It is three years since that album's release, one that attracted a lot of positive attention, both critically and from a large audience. "Between Two Worlds" from Jon and Marte Eberson is the sequel to their previous album "Empathy". ![]()
