Zanussi Five
Three of Norway’s leading sax players –Kjetil Møster, Eirik Hegdal and Jørgen Mathisen plus bass player Per Zanussi and drummer Gard Nilssen play an energetic and surrealistic mix of beautiful melodies, improvisation, grooves and acoustic noise.

Kjetil Møster, of Datarock fame, adds a rough, rock-like feel to the group that contrasts Eirik Hegdals melodic-lyrical baritone together with Jørgen Mathisen one of the top young players in Norway.

Lord Kelvin is Erik Johannesen on trombone, Eirik Hegdal on saxophones and Gard Nilssen on drums. All three musicians compose music to the band, and the sound varies from freejazz to rock, to classical chamber music. The bass-less crew leaves a lot of freedom, but also challenges the composers. This leads to a lot of cheeky and unusual solutions and also opens the door to new and exciting music.
