In 1992 he was back in Oslo and played on the city clubs with drummer Anders Engen and bassist Carl Morten Iversen. He hosted the jams at "Oslo Jazzhus" in 1993, often with Tom Olstad (drums) and Thomas Winther Andersen or Kåre Garnes (bass). From 1999 he was with trumpeter Torgrim Sollid in the lineup for the album Line Up led by the now Holland-based bass player Thomas Winther Andersen. He was also musical director for Prime Time Orchestra (established 1981) who performed several of his compositions. Also Bergen Big Band had his compositions on the repertoire in the 2001 season. He was musical teacher at Norges Musikkhøgskole when in 2002 he received NKR 25 000,- in grants from the Japanese "Sasakawa fund", which was dued to play with Japanese musicians and teach there. Several tours to Japan followed in 2003, 2008, 2009 and 2012. He also performed in guitarduo with Jacob Young (2001– ), and they toured in Serbia in 2003.
