Live Extracts (released 2010 in Oslo, Norway by Jazzland – 0602527364575) is a Nu Jazz album by the Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset's Sonic Codex Orchestra.
Aarset's fifth album as a leader embraces the improvisational power and skill of the expanded Sonic Codex Orchestra. All About Jazz critique John Kelman, in his review of Aarset's album Live Extracts states:
Here the band offer live versions of tunes that differ markedly from recordings on previous studio albums, yet maintain the essential characteristics that are the hallmark of Aarset's music: controlled floating threads that bind together the strong melodies and abstract soundscapes, shaded, ominous atmospheres suffused with deep, subtle colours.
The BBC Music Magazine review awarded the album 5 stars for performance and 4 stars for sound, and The Guardian review awarded the album 3 stars.
