Title: The worst Rypdal disc by far!
Review: I've always been of an opinion that Terje Rypdal is a much better backing guitarist in other people's bands than he is a leader and a composer.His compositions on the "Chaser" disc are chaotic and completely lacking any kind of substance. I could hardly get to the end of the CD. I was bored to death.In general, the drummer Audun Kleive did a hell of lot better job than the leader.BTW, I recommend another disc with Rypdal on a guitar: "Nordic Quartet" where he plays with SURMAN, KROG and STORAS. If you like a bit more serious Euro-jazz, listen to "Litania" by TOMASZ STANKO. Terje has a couple of great moments on that record.
