This is what the Turner Sims brochure had to say about Bugge: "Norway’s Bugge Wesseltoft is one of the most notable trendsetters in contemporary European jazz. Since the 1990s he has made an impressive, truly post-modern transition from his ECM nordic jazz traditions, from playing and recording together with the likes of Jan Garbarek, Sidsel Endresen, Terje Rypdal, Nils Petter Molvaer, and Jon Eberson, to forming his renowned ‘Jazzland’ record label. In the past decade Bugge has focussed on solo work, bringing new energy and perspective to melodic piano parts that integrate new versions of great jazz standards. Twenty years on from his seminal New Conception of Jazz release, Bugge takes a fresh look at the music that made him the musician he is today."
