Rymden Presents “Today May Be Tomorrow” at Bergson

The award-winning Norwegian pianist Bugge Wesseltoft longed to play in a piano trio. As a staunch advocate of “European jazz as an art form in its own right” (Wesseltoft’s words), he longed for something that would resonate with his feelings and his approach to musical expression. And so it came to be that he invited two friends and innovative forces in European jazz: Magnus Öström and Dan Berglund.

With their groups e.s.t. (Esbjörn Svensson Trio) and Bugge’s New Conception Of Jazz, the three like-minded artists from Norway and Sweden simultaneously made music history dating back to the mid-1990s. Both groups, which toured worldwide, shaped a new, fresh sound on the international stage—with great openness to experimentation and radically forward-thinking ideas. The result was an international musical movement that became an inspiration for future generations.

With his artist platform (and record label) Jazzland, Wesseltoft was a pioneer and remains to this day an important champion of the modernization of Scandinavian jazz. The group e.s.t. was the first band ever to perform in rock and jazz clubs, in concert halls for classical music, and, of course, on the biggest stages at music festivals worldwide.

Rymden’s music is based on three elements: melancholic and atmospheric songwriting, dramatically charged rhythms, and virtuosic jazz performance at the highest level. In this new band lineup, the influences of modern jazz, Bach, film music, and even rock music are clearly audible. Woven together into a mature, relaxed concert experience.

At Bergson, Rymden will present their fourth studio album, “Today May Be Tomorrow,” and venture into the unstable terrain of time itself. The title suggests uncertainty, transition, and the strange elasticity of the present moment; today may already contain tomorrow, while yesterday could return in a transformed form. Yet hidden within this is also a more pressing question that is unmistakably part of the world in which we now live: Will there be a tomorrow? This sense of movement through various emotional states—arrival, nightfall, dream, return, the present, and farewell—gives the album its quiet conceptual undertone.
