Now back in his native Norway after a long time in the UK, jazz guitarist Eirik
Svela is establishing himself as an important voice amongst a new generation of
jazz musicians in Oslo. Together with the Oslo based British saxophonist Dave
Edge he's presenting an exciting new quartet with organ prodigy Ross Stanley
and the Norwegian drummer Roger Johansen.
Back
in 2018 Eirik and Dave recorded the album Bits & Pieces in New York with
the internationally acclaimed organ player Sam Yahel (Joshua Redman, Norah Jones).
Both Dave and Eirik love playing with the Hammond B3 and are therefore
understandably very excited about this new project featuring one of the UK's
most in demand jazz musicians. The band plays mostly original music by Eirik
and Dave and the audience can expect hard swing, deep grooves and soaring
melodies from this truly international quartet.
