Norwegian drummer and sonic adventurer expands his group with two major talents.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the album Elastic Wave on ECM Records, the Gard Nilssen Acoustic Unity achieved a balanced mix of acoustic jazz and free improvisation. The band members seemed to have achieved a perfect unity, so the time was right for a new challenge in the form of two extra saxophone players. Signe Emmeluth has performed on our stage several times, for example with her own band Amoeba. Kjetil Møster previously played here with, among others, the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra.
Drummer Gard Nilssen is one of the spearheads of progressive Scandinavian jazz. Alongside Acoustic Unity he’s part of Bushman’s Revenge, which has been described as the missing link between Albert Ayler and Black Sabbath. He also plays in Amgala Temple, which draws comparisons with Jimi Hendrix Experiece and electric-era Miles Davis. And he leads the Supersonic Orchestra, which can sound as energetic as his other bands. This concert with his Acoustic Unity is the release concert for his new album Great Intentions.
