Providing enjoyable and accessible jazz, Tonic For The Troops presents its second full-length album. The style is still rooted in straight ahead post-bop with a modern and contemporary sound, but 'Realm Of Opportunities' also opens up a more lyrical and emotional approach. Ellen Brekken has established herself as one of the most versatile bass players in Norway today. Here we can see her evolution as a composer as well, with a firm grasp of melody and development, demonstrated in cinematic and suite-like tunes.
