Arne Torvik Trio
Moldejazz has always lifted the local music scene, but the local music scene also lifts the festival.
Pianist Arne Torvik from Skåla has been essential in the music scene in our city but is also a name that is known on the international stage.
So far, he has two critically acclaimed records behind him with the trio consisting of bassist Bjørnar Kaldefoss Tveite and the creative drummer Øystein Aarnes Vik.
About this year's recent release "Nortwestern Songs", the Canadian magazine Textura wrote: "His playing throughout this satisfying album can neither be described as hard bop nor traditional swing. Nor is it dissonant or chaotic. "Northwestern Songs" is, simply put, anything but cool. "
There is a special warmth that flows out of Torvik's music and the trio's music. This is available piano trio jazz, with a clear lyrical vein and strong communication joy.
