  • Description

    Leading Norwegian guitarist Johan Tobias Bergstrom, best known for his Django Reinhardt-style of playing, presents Nova, a heady fusion of swing-jazz with Arabic, African, and Irish music.

    The initial spark for this project came in 2020 when Bergstrom was invited to play for the Norwegian and Jordanian royal families in Jordan; "While there I soaked in the sights and sounds, heard music on the radios of taxis and coffee shops, and when I came back the sound of the oud was bouncing around in my head. I decided it was time to make a fusion project. "I've released five albums of Django Reinhardt-style music, and though this was going to be a fusion debut, it ended up being much more of a world music debut! The constellation of the songs on Nova come from different areas of the musical universe."

    Johan Tobias Bergstrom: guitar
    Jorgen Kroger Mathisen: violin
    Hakon Huldt-Nystrom: bass
    Thomas Antonio Debelian: percussion

    Recorded January 2024 at Urban Sound Studios, Oslo, Norway
