Sideways by jacob young

Sideways is an album by Norwegian guitarist and composer Jacob Young released on the ECM label in 2008.

Reception

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and in its review by Matt Collar, states "Much like other ECM releases, with its mix of laid-back edginess and ambient, searching improvisations, Sideways works just as well on a cerebral, engaging level as on a background, afterglow level". On All About Jazz Budd Kopman observed "Sideways is remarkable in how its many layers interact to produce music that combines beauty and intellectual rigor" while John Kelman wrote "Young's very strength is his ability to compel and evoke in the most understated fashion. The beautifully spacious Sideways finds him comfortably evolving, bringing together his personal biculturalism with a musical cosmopolitanism that transcends any single stylistic authority".
