Reception

The critical reception of Vossabrygg noted its ambitious scope, describing it as "a stunning, unraveling labyrinth, created by a master explorer."[4] Writing for AllAboutJazz, John Kelman observed Rypdal's strong musical lineage to Miles Davis, from Rypdal's line-up and instrumentation choices on Vossabrygg, as well as its similarities to other progressive recordings in Davis's discography, notably In a Silent Way[5] Despite the obvious musical influences, Rypdal's ability to deliver originality was a sentiment expressed in several reviews[4][6][7], with the performances from both Rypdal and trumpeter, Palle Mikkelborg, attracting praise.[8][3] "The clear antecedents of Vossabrygg in the music of Miles don't obscure the fact that this is unequivocally a Rypdal record, transcending mere imitation and applying a distinctive filter."[5]
