WAKO

Four Norwegian improvisers with an utter disregard for purism, and a reckless attitude towards taking musical risks - Wako explore their very own language and approach to music.

With six albums, hundreds of live performances under their belt, Norwegian Grammy nominee Wako plays with an authority and personality that places them at the forefront of Nordic jazz.

Line up:

• Martin Myhre Olsen - saxophones
• Kjetil Mulelid - piano
• Bárður Reinert Poulsen - double bass
• Simon Olderskog Albertsen - drums
