Konzert: Adrian Myhr Trio

Adrian Myhr Trio is:

Adrian Myhr - double bass, compositions

Rasmus Kjorstad - violin, langeleik

Jan Martin Gismervik - drums, harmonium

This trio is at the intersection of jazz, Norwegian folk music and contemporary music. One can also hear hints of raga music from India, as well as Albanian singing tradition. The music is suggestive, melodious, meditative and has an acoustic expression with a good deal of use of improvisation. Rasmus Kjorstad plays fiddle and langeleik, Jan Martin Gismervik plays drums, hanging vibraphone and harmonium and Adrian Myhr plays double bass. With this line-up, the trio has great variation in expression and instrumentation. It provides opportunities from e.g. playing long solos on top of a bass and drum groove to playing long drones on the harmonium and with a bow on the double bass and fiddle.
