Heart In Hand, the new album and first official collaboration by American multi-instrumentalists Kenny Wollesen and Ned Ferm on Stunt Records, is a deep and soulful journey into genre-bending musical territory through folk-inspired compositions and inventive interludes.
The program is a kaleidoscopic tapestry of songs and interludes that Wollesen and Ferm have written and woven together through remarkably creative arrangements - joined by Anders "AC" Christensen on bass and Rune Kjeldsen on guitars. In some songs, they ride deep into the American west, reminding us of its beauty and danger; while on others (especially the interludes), they investigate new facets of a sound the late great trumpeter and sonic explorer Jon Hassell referred to as 4th World Music or Primitive/Futuristic.
That's not to say that any of the music on this album would be thought of as challenging to listeners who are fans of Wollesen's or Ferm's previous work. Both artists paint with broad strokes and have abilities and vocabularies that allow them to flourish as leaders and sidemen, as they've shown time and time again throughout rich and diverse careers. The depths of creative understanding and adventurous emotional warmth they bring to musical projects are on full display here in a program that listeners from all backg-rounds will find engaging and fulfilling.
