Notice (released 1981 in Norway by Odin Records - ODIN LP 01) is a studioalbum (LP) by the Norwegian guitarist Thorgeir Stubø awarded Spellemannprisen 1981, as the Jazz album of the year.[1]

Critical reception

This is the first album by Thorgeir Stubø, and was released in 1981. He picked a handful of Northern Norwegian jazz musicians, along with saxophonist Henning Gravrok, bassist Bjørn Alterhaug, pianist Terje Bjørklund and the young drummer Ernst-Wiggo Sandbakk, and delivered an album of music that he later described as "light Chick Corea inspired jazz". Paradoxically enough, this might be the most modern Stubø record, in the sense that there are clear elements of jazz rock inspiration for several of the compositions.[2]
