Frode Berg plays six-string electric and acoustic bass with zeal on Dig It! (Nagel-Heyer). Tenor saxophonist Petter Wettre sounds somewhat bland and regressive on the band’s rendition of “Giant Steps” but is quite spirited and exuberant on “41b” and “Hocum,” both penned by group pianist Roy Powell. Wettre is even more energized on Berg’s “Sir Nuke” and “I’m Gone.” The Norwegian quartet nicely handles bossa nova on “Another Song,” one of five Berg compositions on the CD. Berg’s unit sounds loose and relaxed on almost every cut-the Coltrane anthem excepted.
Three Norwegians (bassist Frode Berg, tenor saxophonist Petter Wettre, and drummer Andreas Bye) and a British pianist (Roy Powell) team up to perform original music (five songs by Berg and two by Powell) that sounds quite American. Most of the selections are high-energy modal music with an occasional departure, including the bossa nova "Another Song," the mostly free "Dig It!," and the bowed-bass feature on the mournful ballad "Victor." One song, a version of "Giant Steps" in 7/4 time, sounds nearly impossible to play. The musicians are all excellent, but tenor saxophonist Petter Wettre consistently steals the show. His passionate playing, most influenced by Michael Brecker, is often quite explosive. Pianist Powell has his good spots (particularly on "Dig It!" and "Hocum"), drummer Bye is ferocious on the uptempo tunes (à la Elvin Jones), and leader Berg shows versatility on both acoustic and electric basses. It may not be innovative overall, but there is certainly plenty of energy, enthusiasm, and musicianship on this winning post-bop set.
