About the Concert
As darkness falls again, the quartet will hit the roads of western and eastern Norway with their music, and once more this year they will visit the atmospheric KinoKino!
It's unpretentious, atmospheric, and playful. It's vocals, guitar, trumpet, and double bass.
It's tradition and improvisation. It's familiar and unfamiliar. And it's from all of us to all of you.
Eva Bjerga Haugen (vocals/piano), Morten Askildsen (guitars), Simen Kiil Halvorsen (trumpet), and Thomas Bang (double bass) come together to celebrate their love for both Christmas and jazz.
After several consecutive years of performing their traditional Christmas concert at Skur 2 in Stavanger, these four artists recorded a long-awaited Christmas album with their own unique arrangements of some of the finest Christmas songs. Grappa Musikkforlag released the album, and in 2023 they also released two more singles.
The album received fantastic reviews and was even named the best Christmas album of the year by the renowned music magazine Lira. It was also mentioned as one of the best Christmas albums of the year by Dag og Tid and Dagens Næringsliv. It sold out in all physical stores by December and was streamed over 50,000 times on various platforms in the first week alone. Both releases have since become a staple of NRK P2 Jazz’s Christmas programming each year.
