A thousand thanks to Trude Storheim and Vossa Jazz for the trust and generosity, and for helping me creatively and financially during these most challenging times; to Mette, Olaf, Oscar, Veslemøy, Oddrun, Atle and Eivind for your excellent ears, extinguished musicianship, and for being such badass human beings; to Olaf for your bright and clear vision and for walking with me through this production with a steady beat, you rock brother; to Helge Westbye and ODIN for believing in the music; to Jørgen and Christian at Studio Paradiso, you’re the best; to Lars Elling for the artwork and Martin Eia-Revheim for your liner notes, much love and respect to you; also big thanks to Kaja Draksler, Josh Johnson, Jacob Wick and Frank Rosaly for initially being ready to rock this band until Covid-19 and its travel restrictions messed up everything. We’ll meet again soon.
This album is made possible with the generous support from Vossa Jazz, and additional support from Jac og Matilde Maliniaks Minnefond and Trondheim Kommune.
