Nils Petter Molvær - Khmer

https://www.discogs.com/release/4816629-Nils-Petter-Molv%C3%A6r-Khmer

Welp, it was only a matter of time before the wacky jazz cuts started to come out of the woodwork. This one comes to us from Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær by way of eclectic jazz and classical label ECM (which I'm sure will make many more appearances on here as time goes on).

Khmer, released in 1997, was a touchstone in the burgeoning genre of future jazz (aka nu jazz), which saw jazz artists flirting with ideas from the worlds of electronic, dance, and hip-hop. You can find earlier incarnations of these ideas in Miles Davis' 80s output (which, as maligned as it was at the time, continues to inform some of the trendier jazz styles of the last 20 years), as well as many of Bill Laswell's various projects and collaborations. Future jazz would go on to peak in the early 2000s with artists like Herbie Hancock jumping on board and very successful (by jazz-adjacent standards) releases from artists like St Germain.

As you might imagine, most future jazz feels (somewhat ironically) aesthetically and stylistically mired in time in the late 90s/early 00s. I think Khmer does a better job than most of feeling a little less dated. While some of the drum loops show their age, tracks like Platonic Years feel like they could have been released last week. Khmer seems less interested in pretensions of getting club play and more in threading those ideas into larger soundscapes. Many future jazz releases feel like they're desperately trying to reach a younger, trendier crowd, whereas Khmer seems to be bringing some newer (again, relative to the time) ideas to ECM's listener base of more open-minded jazz fans. Molvær's playing is tastefully sparse and intentional, often adding little aside from the occasional melody line to a track (again reminding me of Miles' later output, although Molvær's style is much softer and eschews the heavy funk influences Miles had in that era). The rest of the players follow a similar schema, with very little traditional soloing and more of a focus on creating a cohesive musical story.

The copy in front of me is the regular mass-market 1997 German CD release, sporting ECM's signature cardboard slipcase (which, like most, is looking worse for wear 26 years later). ECM had abandoned vinyl at the time, so Khmer would go on to be CD-only until its 2019 LP issue. It also has received a few limited Japan-only releases on SHM-CD and HQCD. ECM has always adhered to strictly minimalist design philosophies, and this release is no exception. The liner notes are simple but informative; no exposition or interviews, just the facts. The rest of the packaging follows suit.

As is the standard at ECM, Khmer is impeccably recorded, mixed, and mastered. It's refreshing for this style in particular, as many of the other releases I've heard in the genre have shot for more of a highly compressed club sound. Khmer maintains wide dynamics while still keeping the bass deep and the drum loops punchy.

Overall, Khmer is a fun listen. I wouldn't describe it as particularly essential outside of its niche in a brief moment in jazz's history, but it's well worth checking out. It's interesting enough for focused listening, but inoffensive and vibey enough to fade into the background if needed. It's also a pleasantly accessible listen for non-jazz listeners, while still being reasonably recognizable as a form of jazz (something that definitely can't be said for every future jazz release). Give it a spin sometime if that sounds like your type of thing. Until next time, may your drum loops stay well-sequenced and may your ligatures stay well-connected.
