FINNSKOGENS OWN NATIONAL TREASURE AND POEMS BY JON FOSSE
Sinikka Langeland is one of Norway’s leading folk musicians and is recognised by her strong and expressive voice and refined performances on the kantele.The Kantele sounds like an orchestra in and of itself and with the rest of the talented ECM-musicians, Sinikka Langeland gives us a concert inspired by Jon Fosses timeless western Norwegian landscapes in wind, sun, sea, and sky.
Since 2013, the band GURLS has been sax player Hannah Paulsberg and bassist Ellen Andrea Wangs musical recess that all the kids want to partake in. For this collaborative project with Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, vocalist Marianna Sangita has joined GURLS, making it a hard-hitting trio.
John Surman’s newest project, Words Unspoken, continues the conversations that started with the music for his trio Invisible Threads – and this time, he has added elements of percussion and some electronics to the mix. Tonight, Surman is joined by Rob Luft on guitar, Rob Waring on vibraphone and Thomas Strønen on drums.
To call Dave Douglas a trumpeter would be a gross understatement.
In the current new quintet formation, Dave Douglas has Joey Baron drum up a young bunch: Nick Dunston on bass stands out at the moment especially as a formative part in Mary Halvorson`s current Amaryllis ensemble. Polish pianist Marta Warelis delivers a dash of classical avant-garde, which she makes sound quite sparkling. And finally, James Brandon Lewis, a saxophonist with young fingers and an old soul. Together they will try their hand at Dave Douglas' music.
