Evening Falls is an album by Norwegian guitarist and composer Jacob Young recorded in December 2002 and released on ECM in August 2004.[1] [2]
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and in its review by Thom Jurek, states "What is immediately startling about Evening Falls is its lyricism, and how it doesn't sound like a guitarist's date. Young's compositions reflect the notion of song, overtly paying careful attention to nuance and dynamic. Inside his deep and winding lyricism is plenty of room for improvisation and group interplay."[1]
The Guardian called it "A lyrical, softly swaying debut from a thirtysomething Norwegian acoustic and electric guitarist who, despite his youth, has worked with some of the luminaries of the Scandinavian scene."[3]
For All About Jazz, John Kelman wrote "Evening Falls heralds the international arrival of an artist who, with a number of years behind him, has already developed a mature and personal approach. As a player, composer and bandleader he will clearly be someone to watch."[4]
