RIK is a captivating new album by Norwegian jazz saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Harald Lassen, released in 2025 on Jazzland Recordings. The title, drawn from the Norwegian word for “rich,” reflects the album’s layered explorations of musical, emotional, personal and ecological wealth. Blending cinematic jazz with open improvisation and intimate composition, Lassen and his ensemble create a vivid sound world that feels both introspective and expansive. Across seven tracks, RIK showcases his expressive voice on saxophone, piano, flute and more — a rich musical journey that rewards repeated listening.
