  • An new extended version of the original LP "Odyssey" will be out on ECM in 2012 (2 x CD). Featuring the "lost" track "Rolling Stone" and also the commisioned piece "Unfinished Highballs etc." with Odyssey and Swedish Radio Big Band".

  • I love this. But does anyone else hear fragments - and I mean fragments, I am not accusing anyone of plagiarism - of the oboe theme of The Mission by Morricone, especially between 0:20 and 0:45?

  • @filtecuk Nicely heard! This little 5-note combination (Morricone, 4-note with Rypdal) is almost identical. However, it is very much used by Terje, i.e. in Innseiling (1980) just before the drums comes in. I think its his most used combination when improvising. (Its also used in "Farewell, 1975).

  • this version of Mystery Man (oslo live? or similar) is include in cdbox??? I'm looking for this beautiful "surreal" live version.. :/

    it's awesome... make me cry ...

  • @Mantra604 There are three live versions of "Mystery Man" on the box. Fredrikstad (Norway), Berlin and Sarajevo.

  • A 5 x CD live box with the Skywards trio (Rypdal, Storløkken, Vinaccia) is out on Jazzland. Title: Paolo Vinaccia: Very much Alive - featuring Terje Rypdal, Ståle Storløkken & Palle Mikkelborg. Recommended! Features two versjons of "Mystery Man".

  • Have I ever told you... or would you believe that Mystery Man by Terje Rypdal is my favorite music composition ever? There are no better ones for me. It is perfect for the ear, wonderful for the soul, groundbreaking for the heart, and peaceful for the mind. I feel as a human being when I listen to this song.

  • Terje Rypdal is probably most underrated guitarist I know
