New compositions inspired by the music of Ahmad Jamal

This record is my homage to John PÃ¥l Inderberg. It has long been a big dream
to play with him and now the dream has come true. Also a big thank you to
Bjørn Vidar, Frederik, Kristoffer, and Odd at Losen Records, for bringing this
music to life. You are all amazing!
The background for this release is that I have previously released two guitar
trio records; LOS 130-2 Poinciana (2014) and LOS 175-2 But Not For Me (2017),
both on Losen Records. This music is inspired by the American pianist Ahmad
Jamal and especially his trio in the late 1950s with drummer Vernel Fournier and
bassist Israel Cosby. Their trio sound has been a great inspiration for me, with
their elegant swinging cool jazz, beautifully arranged with playful spontaneity
- pure magic!
This release One For John! can in many ways be heard as an extension of my two
previous albums, thus completing a trilogy. However this time, the standards
have been replaced by original compositions. In collaboration with Frederik
Villmow, all but one song has been composed especially for this project.
It is with great pleasure that we can now share this music with you and we hope
that you will enjoy the album.
