P.S. the eclectic prog team must be happy after this.

or Jazz-Rock Fusion. They've released four albums and I've understood the earlier ones are more fully fledged proggy jazzrock but so far I've only listened to their gentle and canterburyish The Diary Of Robert Reverie (Spotify album-link) from 2018. This is the opening of Roger Farbey's review in All About Jazz: Norwegian band Needlepoint's fourth release for BJK is an intriguing one, full of vocal-based songs that twist and turn at every opportunity. The near-title track "Robert Reverie" contains a skilfully fast and labyrinthine guitar solo from Bjørn Klakegg, underpinned by wistful words, riff-laden bass and keyboards. and energetic, surgically precise drumming. By contrast, Nikolai Hængsle's Hugh Hopper-esque fuzz bass heralds the opening to "On The Floor," which despite its relatively menacing beginnings, develops into a number resembling a cross between early Pink Floyd and Soft Machine. So yeah more retro prog coming this way but I don't mind as long as it sounds like a lost peak era Caravan/Hatfield-gem. Many of you will love this I'm sure. |

^Right! have they already been suggested? I did a search and nothing came up... Sure sound Canterbury to me but guess its kind of silly to lump a contemporary norwegian band into a geographically spesific early 70's scene... and whichever genre is fine by me. More or less

Hello!
Needlepoint from Norway is the project of long-time jazz guitarist Bjørn Klakegg and has released four albums. The last two appeared on many "best of" lists the year it was released (2016 and 2018), exceptional progressive jazz-rock. |

I was going to suggest this band myself. I'm glad to see someone else did. My guess would be they might fit into crossover prog.
