Biography

After four years of study at the Norwegian Academy of Music, the trio have distinguished themselves as strong newcomers on the Norwegian jazz scene. They released their debut album Løv Og Lette Vimpler in 2013. The album was recorded in Stavanger, in the studio of Norwegian free jazz pioneer Frode Gjerstad. He has succeeded in capturing the simple, acoustic and intimate sound, of the trio and the free-spirited structure of its pieces, blending organic guitar improvisation with clear references to the ECM recordings of Ralph Towner.
