Quite inspiring is the multi-talented artist, Oystein Westlie, as his recently released album, “Jazz Café” is filled with stunning Jazz instrumentals. Not only has Westlie composed this finely crafted disc but he impresses the listener with his outstanding performances on all instruments except the saxophone. You’ll be swept away from the very first song “Sweeping the driveway” as the cool vibes of the instruments interplay with each other. The title track, “Jazz Café” is smooth Jazz at its best with distinct rhythmic punctuation and orchestration. The elegant piece “Ice cream” is free flowing and features a crisp and clean piano. A fabulous Jazz guitar takes on the melody of the song, “Bike rental,” and it is also bolstered by the colorful piano chord progressions. Don’t miss the opportunity to listen to the superb album “Jazz Café” as it will surely please your musical palate.
