Norwegian jazz trumpeter and composer; leader of albums including The Door.

Known for lyrical trumpet playing and contributions to contemporary Norwegian jazz. The DeBaser review praises his album The Door and tracks such as Stavanger, Cologne Blues and October.

A single enthusiastic DeBaser review praises Mathias Eick's lyrical trumpet and the atmosphere of his album The Door. Tracks singled out include "The Door", "Stavanger", "Cologne Blues" and "October". The review frames the record as soft, sumptuous, without overdubs, and deeply rooted in Norwegian jazz. A closing line in the review reads: "No bullshit, True Norwegian Black Music."

For:Listeners of contemporary jazz, fans of trumpet-led ensembles and Nordic jazz listeners.

 After exploring a satellite of one of the obscure parts of the Martian ensemble that are the Jaga Jazzist, namely Stian Westerhus with his Monolithic, I want to add another brushstroke to the splendid canvas of Norwegian jazz by talking about the gray soul, certainly not white, of Mathias Eick, escaping from the hallucinogenic progressions of the Jaga project to take refuge in a soft, sumptuous record, without overdubs or effects. Just a breath of ice.
