Mette Rasmussen – saxophone
Savannah Harris – drum
Petter Eldh – bass
Val Jeanty - SoundChemist
ØKSE means ax in Danish. The namesake of this world premiere by Danish saxophonist Mette Rasmussen with the American drummer Savannah Harris is not only this primeval tool, but also Ashé, the life energy of the Yoruba, a river that carries initiates through life. In this sense, ØKSE, a commission for the Jazzfestival Saalfelden, which also features the Swedish bassist Petter Eldh from Berlin and the Haitian-American Afro-Vodou-Electronica-pioneer Val Jeanty aka Val-Inc, will carry the audience on its improvisational flow. And maybe divide it, too.
ØKSE is a commission to Mette Rasmussen & Savannah Harris, thus a world premiere, which is created for Saalfelden.
