Three masters in action | Oslojazz 2025
The scene is set for a meeting between three legendary Norwegian musicians as Eivind Aarset, Audun Kleive, and Ståle Storløkken join forces. All three have, for what feels like an eternity, fed the world’s music scenes with fearless and genre-defying auditory journeys.
Aarset's immense, soaring guitar-electronic landscapes spark ice-flames, yet with a rare sense of peace and time. Storløkken's B3 organ bass and synthesizers have a percussive rhythm, where beautiful and distorted sounds exist side by side. Storløkken's playing style has a precision, energy, and presence that few are granted. Kleive has a unique and quirky beat, characterized by a driving intensity, with a sense of form and a deep concentration on the possibilities of the moment.
Accompanying them is Geir Østensjø, who is definitely in the "hall of fame" of European sound engineers, bringing the entire sonic universe to the people in its full, vibrating breadth and weight. Stylistically, the trio fearlessly steps into a progressive and melodic jazz landscape, where massive and hypnotic tones together create high peaks and deep valleys that pull you into the music.
