|
The Ola Kvernberg Trio was established in 2000, at that time it consisted of violinist Ola Kvernberg together with bassplayer Steinar Raknes and american guitarplayer Doug Raney.
Since then, the trio has been through a few changes, the latest was
adding swedish drummer Erik Nylander autumn 2004. Ola grew up in a
musical family, playing in the fiddle folk music tradition of his mom
and granddad. Studying classical and folk music from age 6, he
discovered jazz music at age 16 and has since then pursued his interest
in improvised music.
The trio's reportoire today consists mainly of Olas compositions; a
mixture of bebop, folkmusic-fiddling and modal jazz. Focusing on the
interplay, the result is quite a unique sound: everything from burnin
to intepretating soft songs.
