Nordic Christmas has nothing whatsoever to do with pomp and kitsch, excess and grand gestures. It is familiar and traditional, drawing its strength from silence. Those who have fallen for the special musical charm of Scandinavian Christmas can now celebrate "Nordic Christmas" with Tore Brunborg and Kjetil Bjerkestrand.
Tore Brunborg
No other country produces more prominent jazz musicians per
capita worldwide than Norway.
Jan Garbarek is the guiding star, but it was primarily the
second generation born in the 1960s that propelled "Nordic Jazz" to
global recognition: Nils Petter Molvær, Bugge Wesseltoft, Geir Lysne, Eivind
Aarset, and saxophonist Tore Brunborg.
Born in 1960, Brunborg hails from Trondheim, the jazz hub of
Norway, and he completed his highly acclaimed education at the conservatory
there. Internationally, Brunborg is better known as a sideman. Since 1982, he
has been a part of the quintet led by Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen.
ACT fans may recognize him as a member of the Geir Lysne
Listening Ensemble and, most recently, from Manu Katché's band. In his own
quartet, Brunborg has collaborated with Bugge Wesseltoft and Anders Jormin. His
current band comprises exquisite companions from the vanguard of Norwegian
jazz, notably the guitar eccentric Eivind Aarset.
