  • Description

    Nordic Circles is a unique Nordic jazz project, started by producer/drummer Anders Thorén. The core idea of this project is to bring together the elite of Nordic jazz musicians in a collaborative and spontanous process, to create a unique expression that highlights the improvisational music of the area.

    The recording combines the melancolic beauty in Tore Johansen's trumpet playing and Helge Lien's brilliant playfullness on the piano, with Per Orvang's warm and atmospherical guitar playing. The complexity of this trio rests on a steady, and dynamic rythmical foundation, built by Anders Ljungberg and Anders Thorén.



    Stylistically the music is in the lyrical part of the spectrum, with material written by the majority of the quintet. This to achieve greater depth of music, but mainly to clearly represent the uniqueness of this collaborative project. The recording took place in Rainbow Studio in Oslo, September 2014, with the legendary sound engineer Jan Erik Kongshaug.
