Daniel Herskedal & Emilie Nicolas

Majestic collaboration | Oslo Jazz 2024

In the thickest fog in the pandemic, star tubist Daniel Herskedal composed the commissioned work Out of the Fog for Jazzfest in Trondheim, featuring pop sensation Emilie Nicolas on vocals, who also wrote the lyrics. Out of the Fog is a magnificent and atmospheric project, with Herskedal's picturesque tonal landscapes and Nicolas' crystal-clear vocals.

After some acclaimed concerts at Jazzfest, Moldejazz, and Maijazz, the project fortunately also became an album. The album received rave reviews and was nominated for the Spellemann Prize and the Deutscher Jazz Preis. The project features two brilliant musicians: guitar virtuoso Eivind Aarset and percussionist Helge Andreas Norbakken. These two musicians fit the project like a glove, contributing intricate texture and details to a striking soundscape.

This will be the first concert they perform together since the album was released in 2022. It is also the first concert without audience restrictions due to the pandemic. In other words, this is a rare event that you simply must attend!
