(7:34)  8. Bella's Burn

No turmoil here, as saxophonist Andy Fusco is very much in charge heading up the group with a confident tone and strong sense of voice which maybe also allows a bit more openness in the other players! Fusco blows alto throughout, with a rich, crispy tone that almost moves more towards a tenor at points  and he shares lots of solo space with guitarist John Hart, a player with very open chromes evoking lots of harmonic moments from his instrument, as they ring out strongly with a sense of color that it might normally take a few other players to introduce. The rest of the quartet features Bill Morning on bass and Rudy Petschauer on drums and titles include "Turmoil", "Minor League", "The Gypsy", "Bella's Burn", "Look For The Silver Lining", and "Rhapsodia".  © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/894257/Andy-Fusco:Turmoil

Pianist Jacques Loussier has spent much of his career performing Bach melodies with his jazz group. Loussier's Play Bach Trio was quite popular during 1959-1978. After a few years off, he formed a new trio along similar lines in 1985, the group heard on this CD.

Although jazz and classical music have been combined together in many different ways through the years, no combo has worked harder at swinging Bach than Loussier's units. The pianist pays respect to Bach's melodies before swinging them and his improvisations are a natural outgrowth of the themes. This CD gives listeners an excellent example of his concept and is a constant delight.By Scott Yanow

From 2003 he was member of the transatlantic jazz collective NYNDK (with a release in 2006), so-called because the musicians come from New York, Norway and Denmark.

The Klangforum Wien – an Austrian chamber orchestra, based in Vienna at the Konzerthaus, which specialises in contemporary classical music, invited Mathisen to play on the latest opera of an Austrian composer Bernhard Lang‘s opera named “ParZeFool/MONDPARSIFAL Alpha 1-8” that was premiered June 4th 2017 at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, Austria. The orchestra was conducted by Australian condoctor Simone Young, and the piece was directed by German painter, sculptor and performance artist Jonathan Meese.

In October 2017 Mathisen announced a short tour with Jan Gunnar Hoff featuring on the drums one of the greatest Cuban drummers, Horacio (“El Negro”) Hernandez, who was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Berklee College of Music. Recording a studio album under Loosen Records in Barxeta (Spain) will follow the tour.

Has been a freelance electric and acoustic upright bass player since 1994 nowadays based out of Oslo (Norway), and Vienna (Austria), and has performed in as many as 35 countries worldwide with some of the most famous musicians on the planet.
