Lifelines

Lifelines (released 1981 in Germany) is the fourth album by Norwegian jazz bassist and composer Arild Andersen, recorded July 1980 at Talent Studio, Oslo, and released on the ECM label (ECM 1188). Andersen chose to depart from his usual quartet for Lifelines, forming a new one to take advantage of long held musical relationships with Kenny Wheeler and Paul Motian. Though the quartet toured Norway prior to the album sessions, its existence was short-lived. Andersen would nevertheless go on to perform with each of the quartet's members in different musical configurations and projects.
