In January 0f 2024 the celebrated Hungarian group Djabe and acclaimed solo musician and former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett took part in the BodØ Jazz Open Festival in Norway, one hundred kilometres above the Arctic Circle. Djabe & Steve Hackett played one gig at the Svömmehallen Scene and Djabe played another at Dama Di next day. They also recorded a new studio album during their Arctic stay.
As with their previous album “The Sardinia Tapes,” this new album features music inspired by the surroundings in which it was made and born from a series of jam sessions recorded around their concerts. Djabe guitarist Attila Égerházi declares: “The whole stay and the music recorded was extraordinary and magical.” The resulting album is again unique.
The release also includes a bonus region free Blu-ray disc featuring a 5.1 Surround Sound mix of the album, along with bonus audio and visual features including live material recorded in Norway in January 2024 and Hungary in 2023 along with the documentary Arctic Jam.
