This Norwegian organ trio is a new project with well-known musicians Vigleik Storaas (piano), Steinar S. Nickelsen (organ) and Hokon M. Johansen (drums). Their expressive approach to improvisation combined with high-voltage interplay is the perfect summation of talent and innovative musical stylings.
