Habyor

Habyor is the third album by drummer Jim Black's AlasNoAxis featuring clarinetist/saxophonist Chris Speed, guitarist Hilmar Jensson and bassist Skúli Sverrisson recorded in 2004 and released on the Winter & Winter label.

[1] In his review for Allmusic, Sean Westergaard said " this isn't really a jazz album.

Despite what some jazz purists may say, this doesn't make the music any less interesting or less valuable.

[2] On AllAboutJazz John Kelman stated "Habyor may not make fans of purist jazz fans, but with singable melodies over mostly assertive rhythms, he creates engaging music that may draw more rock-oriented listeners over to the "dark side".

"[3] In JazzTimes, Bill Milkowski observed "Black has crafted a distinctive collection that goes for the simplicity of songs and the power of a unified band sound".
