Swedish-Norwegian union – but unlike last time, there is no need for a monarch; this is true democracy in the form of a jazz quartet where all the members contribute with a genuine musical desire to tell a story. The band brings together Ståle Storløkken (Supersilent), Per Texas Johansson, Petter Eldh (Koma Saxo), and Gard Nilssen (Supersonic Orchestra) in emotional music – more autumn than summer, more fog than sun – meant to withstand the test of time in its originality, with songs flowing seamlessly from introspective ballads to rock-infused hard-jazz.
The union played their first concert together at Bergen Jazzforum in January 2022, and when the quartet returns to Bergen, they also bring with them their self-titled debut album, released on We Jazz at the end of last year.
