Sky Music - Tribute to Terje Rypdal
Artist in Residence
Terje Rypdal is a guitarist who has left a deep mark on himself. His influence has been enormous and a number of today's leading guitarists have him high on the list of role models. This also applies to this year's resident artist, Hedvig Mollestad. For this night concert in Teatret Vårt, the star team of Norwegian musicians who participated in the Rypdal tribute "Sky Music" in 2017 have been paired with Nels Cline from Wilco.
Star band with star tribute!
Nasjonal Jazzscene Victoria with Gard Nilssen on drums, Ingbrigt Håker Flaten on bass, Ståle Storløkken on "keys" and guitarists Even Helte Hermansen and Hedvig Mollestad. A group referred to at the concert at NJS as "the tenderest tenderloin in Norwegian musical life".
It will be a very special event when the aforementioned Nels Cline joins this band for an entire concert where the three guitarists remain on stage the entire time.
It is hard to imagine a more worthy tribute to Rypdal!
