OOKPIK
janvier 2011... Limpide et cristalline, la musique sonne de façon très singulière. S'y conjuguent joie et poésie, mélodies attachantes et développements narratifs.
... Ookpik est un bonheur, une belle balade musicale au cours de laquelle se succèdent des tableaux rafraîchissants, petites scènes de vie d'ici ou d'ailleurs. (Olivier Acosta, Citizen Jazz, juillet 2012)
“Ookpik is the name the Inuit give to the Snowy Harfang, the great white owl of the Arctic tundra whose appearances are as rare as they are precious, like so much poetry stolen from the sky. This is the case with Christofer Bjurstrom’s quartet and his music, which shares with this nocturnal raptor elegance, refinement and discretion……. Clear and crystalline, the music sounds very singular. It combines joy and poetry, endearing melodies and narrative developments. Ookpik is a joy, a beautiful musical journey during which there are refreshing paintings, small life scenes from here or elsewhere.” (Olivier Acosta, Citizen Jazz, July 2012)
