The internationally known trombonist Torbjorn Sunde opens our "Jazz Series" with a wonderful production. Titles like Cole Porters " Love for Sale " or Gershwins " But not for me " were new arranged and played in by his octet at the studios in Oslo and mastered à la K&Carte. No discussions, no back and forth - everyone has done his job and knew the focus of work - a real fun. The result documents: Jazz lives, also in the new millennium - international! And only one remains us: Thanks to Torbjorn and his octet! The K&K is very proud to present this Production! And you: Have much fun when hearing!

About the Edition:
It´s cold outside and we must go... because in accordance with our announcement in the Newsletter of the autumn 1998 we search for the "real jazz" - always with the question: Where is the Chet?

Three Years later:You know: Some things need some time. Investigations in the secret, search in hidden corners - back to the roots participates the motto: Jazz in Clubs - sometimes hot and sometimes smart, but allways - smooth... cause, Baker, Miles & Mulligan did simply performe that, what all jazz-musicians like to do, but doesn't: Playing swing, with and for good Friends - hot music & High Heels after!

In the scene of Oslo we make our first hit, and about this production we think: That´s jazz! - nothing else...
