ÆÆ

About Me



ÆÆ is a quartet that met on the jazzdepartment of the conservatory in Trondheim through a common interest in Albert Ayler, Archie Shepp and Roswell Rudds music. Soon they started writng their own material. The music can be described as energetic, extatic, catchy freejazz. The musicians play in many of the ever growing amount of strong innovative bands in Norway such as Jaga Jazzist , Trondheim Jazzorchestra , Shagma , Supersonic Rocketship and Lord Kelvin . The four musicians in ÆÆ have strong individual voices, and are not afraid to use it.
