Massive beats and throbbing grooves underpin the Norwegian trumpeter's fiery solos in a project
that forms a bridge between ECM's improvised soundscapes and the brave new world of trip-hop,
drum'n'bass, ambient/illbient, techno, industrial, electronica and samples. Nils Petter Molvær
may be best known for his jazz work - with most of the leading Scandinavian players and with
Elvin Jones, Gary Peacock, and George Russell - but he also has vast experience as a rock
sessioneer. Khmer brings jazz's freedom and pop/rock's sound potential together.
