Norwegian jazz quintet Friends and Neighbors announce a nation-wide New Zealand tour. The group represents the leading young voices in the thriving Norwegian modern jazz scene, and promises high energy excitement, swooping melodies and a touch of Nordic darkness.
Featuring Niklas Barnö (trumpet), André Roligheten (saxes/clarinet), Oscar Grönberg (piano), Jon Rune Strøm (bass), Tollef Østvang (drums), the music of Friends and Neighbours represents a new generation of Norwegian jazz groups.
Through original and strong compositions, the band has forged a strong identity, crystal clear presence and personality to burn. Together they draw upon the melodic innovations of Ornette Coleman alongside a unique Scandinavian sensibility to create vital and compelling music never heard live in Aotearoa.
