Elephant9
Biography
Elephant9 is a Norwegian jazz/prog rock band. Their music sounds like a modern take on 70’s prog and hard rock, with clear influences from Miles Davis. Classic Hammond driven prog fusion and great big real deal analogue instrumental pieces on a direct line from somewhere in 1974. Flowing jazz flavoured progressive rock pieces that feel like well considered structured focused jams.
Well focused is a relative term, they’re not afraid of a long piece (or two) of healthy prog rock self indulgence, a self assured style, tight accomplished musicians who just let it all naturally flow rather then feeling any kind of need to show off how good they are. A ride through the glories of organ driven 70’s sounding jazzy prog rock, bits of funk, Deep Purple sounding hard rock jams, and more notes that you can reasonable expect to be coming at you none stop in such a gloriously good way.
Albums:
Dodovoodoo (2008)
Walk the Nile (2010)
Members:
Ståle Storløkken (fender rhodes, hammond organ and synthesizer), (known from Supersilent and Bol amongst others)
Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen (electric bass, electric guitar), (known from BigBang and The National Bank)
Torstein Lofthus (drums), (known from Shining and Eivind Aarset band amongst others)
