Norwegian all-round saxist, with a growing heart for honky stuff.
40's - 60's honkin' baritone combined with contemporary mindblowing on the alto - well, I'm there! And most other places too, as long as it's groovy. :-)
Been everywhere, in every style, but my style is cantabile as well as percussive, high-flying arpeggios as well as basic honkin', but always with the love for music up front, always trying to give from my heart. Joy and love. In other words: music .
Confused? - So am I... ;-)
About the songs:
The very thought of you
- with my dear friend, an amazing US soulful swinging songstress: Coco Rouzier recorded live with minidisc @ Muddy Waters Blues Club in Oslo, Sept 2006.
I got soul
- with Stamfunk, a new favourite band of mine. We meet irregularly to play music very close to our hearts: JB style funk and Hendrix style bluesrock. Recorded live with minidisc and a stereo mic at an outdoor concert in Ã…lesund, Norway, July 2007
Iulias Ballad
- an original, written for a girl I met in Montenegro, recorded live with a MacBook in Oslo Jan 2007 with the jazzquartet LieBenHolS
Jam Samba
- also with LieBenHolS, to illustrate how we love to play with the playing... These guys have great ears, I love playing with them!
The quality of these recordings are not to be compared to studio recordings! :-)
