Welcome to my new website
Hello. This summer has already been kind of busy playing in June at the Rochester Jazz Festival in New York State and a club gig in NYC. See some reviews here.
Last week I was in Sardinia Playing a duo concert with Paolo Fresu. He is celebrating his 50. birthday by playing 50 concerts in 50 days with 50 different projects at 50 different places in Sardinia…
Here’s an iPhone video recording of one song:
It was recorded professionally but we will have to wait for that…I play on a borrowed bass and the sound is not up to what I want, but nice as a document. One hardly get back home these days before there is an amateur video of your gig out on YouTube…..
I am just on my way to the Kongsberg Jazz Festival here in Norway where I will have a premier for a new quintet with Markus Stockhausen,Tommy Smith, Carsten Dahl and Patrice Heral.
Later this summer I will be at the Molde Festival playing with Thomasz Stanko quintet, My own Quartet and a special feature where I am solist with Scottish National Jazz Orchestra playing a tribute to ECM. Go here for concert dates.
More to come.
Arild

Hyperborean
This is Arild Andersens composition » Hyperborean». The singer is Elin Rosseland.She received the
Radka Tonef Memorial Prize 2009. This version of Hyperborean is totaly improvised. They had no time
to rehearse the piece, so this is the first time they play it together.
Jan Garbarek , Arild Andersen , Edward Vesala » Triptykon»
This is a concert from Paris 1972 or 73 .
The short photo of a man just before we start playing is Andre Francis.
He is a legend of his own in France and the voice on most live recording from the Juan les Pins Festival.
Among them «Miles in Europe» 1963
He gave me the prize » European Jazz musician 2008 » and I was so honoured by meeting him that I almost forgot to say thank you.
