We Could Be Flying: Vinyl LP

Label: Meantime
Release Date: 30th May

What a gem this is! Norwegian jazz singer Karin Krog was a go-to vocal for Jazz visionaries like Archie Sheep, Dexter Gordon and John Surman but on 'We Could Be Flying' she's leading a white hot band with her voice that is at once smokey club, folky and prog rock. The music is jazz fusion but less funky and more heading to jam band rock territory, and falls somewhere between a Cantebury band, Impulse release and Joni Mitchell's LA Express. 

We Could Be Flying
Karin Krog's own label Meantime Records has given us many rare and
legendary recordings, now it presents this much welcomed reissue on vinyl of
'We Could Be Flying', from the original master
First issued on Polydor in 1974, Karin performs alongside a musical dream team,
consisting of Jon Christensen on drums, Steve Kuhn on electric and acoustic piano
and Steve Swallow bass guitar. This is the 2025 repress after the well received 2016
pressing.
The quality of the music is exceptional with the Michel Columbier and Paul Williams'
title song headlining the album. Joni Mitchells "All I Want" and two great Steve Kuhn
originals "Raindrops, Raindrops" and "The Meaning of Love" add to the mix.
Karin Krog seems to thrive in this company - and vice versa - with the music sounding
as timeless as if it had been recorded yesterday. Here we have four very personal and
original voices, something which has not escaped the attention of today's DJs.
Outstanding music in the hands of truly amazing musicians.
