Festsalen, MUNCH

Beloved project with new album
Ellen Andrea Wang is one of the leading musicians of her generation. She has created her own musical universe, and has emphatically proved that you can write hits and still have both feet firmly planted in jazz. She has received Spellemann awards, composer awards, was "Artist in Residence" at Moldejazz (2021) and has collaborated with musicians such as Sting, Manu Katché, Ben Wendel, Marilyn Mazur and Bugge Wesseltoft. She is also a member of the critically acclaimed group GURLS. With a sound that is both melodious, catchy and vital, composer and songwriter Wang mixes styles in a unique way.
The band has garnered international recognition for their musical interplay, and since their debut album they have played around 100 club concerts and festivals in Europe, such as the Athens Jazz Festival, Molde Jazz Festival and the London Jazz Festival. The trio consists of the British shooting star Rob Luft on guitar (John Surman, Django Bates) and the Swedish, meritorious drummer Jon Fält (Bobo Stenson trio), who have a special ability to create moods that touch both the heart and the soul.
