Ended Saturday and welcomed Sunday with Movements in Colour an album by British jazz saxophonist and composer Andy Sheppard recorded in February 2008 and released on ECM the following year.

Tyran Grillow rote for ECM Reviews:

British saxophonist Andy Sheppard’s ECM debut is a phenomenon in sound. A musician of remarkable integrity, Sheppard takes full advantage of the opportunity to broaden his reach farther than ever before. For this project, he indulges in his Indian, African, and Latin affinities, as reflected in the eclectic lineup that shapes this set into something greater than the sum of its parts...

Different Days Different Ways by Karin Krog released on Philips in 1976.

Karin Krog (born 15 May 1937) is a Norwegian jazz singer.

Krog began singing jazz as a teenager and attracted attention while performing in jam sessions in Oslo. In 1955, she was hired by the pianist Kjell Karlsen to sing in his sextet. In 1962, she started her first band, and that same year she became a student of the Norwegian-American singer Anne Brown. Krog studied with Brown until 1969. In the 1960s, she performed with the rhythm and blues band Public Enemies, releasing the hit singles "Sunny" and "Watermelon Man" - Wikipedia

Here she tackles a mix of original compositions and covers, including Ornette Coleman's Lonely Woman

Terje Rypdal is an album by Norwegian jazz guitarist Terje Rypdal recorded over two days in August 1971 and released on ECM later that year. The septet features singer Inger Lise Rypdal, saxophonist Jan Garbarek, oboist Ekkehard Fintl, and rhythm section Bobo Stenson, Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen. - Wikipedia

Tyran Grillo wrote on ECM Reviews:

Terje Rypdal’s first ECM effort as frontman is a bewitching look into the Norwegian guitarist’s formative years. With a bevy of talented musicians in tow, he forges a mercurial portrait of late-night melodies and hidden desires. “Keep It Like That – Tight” is stifling and seedy, buffeted by cooling fans and laced with the fumes of an alcoholic haze. It’s a desolate hotel room where more than evening falls..

Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with the debut eponymous LP by Masqualero (1983–1991) released on the Norwegian jazz federation's own label, Odin in 1983.

They were a Norwegian jazz group. Originally named "The Arild Andersen Quintet", the group soon changed its name to Masqualero in celebration of the Wayne Shorter composition. Masqualero recorded four albums, three of which were awarded the Spellemannsprisen. The group were considered an important influence on the evolution of Nordic jazz and have subsequently become known as a 'Norwegian supergroup'.Masqualero' was one that listeners inadvertently selected for the group.- Wikipedia
