Tutl Records
TUTL Records is a record label of the Faroe Islands that was founded in 1977 by Kristian Blak. The label is credited with giving many Faroese musicians their first break and "has played a major role in giving musicians a chance to record and publish." History ''Tutl'' is Faroese for "whisper, susurration"; overseas, it is probably the best-known representative and distributor of Faroese music. For instance, all entries of Faroese artists in the ''World Music'' guide (published by The Rough Guide) are released by "the main Faroese record company, Tutl." Faroese musicians such as Teitur Lassen, Eivør Pálsdóttir, Høgni Lisberg, Guðrið Hansdóttir, Knút Háberg Eysturstein and Týr started their career at Tutl, and Blak's own jazz band Yggdrasil issues all their records at Tutl. In 2008, Tutl entered into cooperation with Factory 92 (formerly The Rocking Factory, an organization in Hamburg) that aims to represent and promote music from the Nordic countries in mainland ...

Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, complex chords, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation. Jazz has roots in European harmony and African rhythmic rituals. As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles.

But jazz did not begin as a single musical tradition in New Orleans or elsewhere.

Yggdrasil (band)
Yggdrasil is a Nordic music ensemble based in the Faroe Islands. The band was formed in 1981 by the composer and pianist Kristian Blak, who has written most of the material for the group. From the very beginning, Yggdrasil has included musicians from other countries, having varied musical backgrounds, mainly in jazz, but also in ethnic, folk, rock and classical music. Most of their works have been created in relation with other forms of art: visual art, poetry, ballet, opera - or in some cases, with nature (concertos in sea caves). The compositions draw ideas and themes from ethnic material from the North Atlantic region, such as Faroese ballads, hymns and rhymes, Inuit songs or Shetland folk music. Improvisation takes a large part in the interpretation and ranges from free and ethno-jazz to classical and world music. The band is named after the world tree Yggdrasil in Norse mythology.
