A Scandinavian all-star band with a brand-new album! André Roligheten is well-known for his strong presence across the spectrum from Gard Nilssen´s Acoustic Unity, Team Hegdal, Friends & Neighbors, Trondheim Jazzorkester and Susanne Sundfør. Now he is back with a new album and a bold ensemble. His compositions have been created to mimic parallel universes featuring his own improvised musical forms. Imagine Sonny Rollins and Egberto Gismonti meeting at the water´s edge of a yoga retreat in Hawaii and deciding to make an album together! Roligheten displays a deeply personal form of expression through his warm tenor saxophone, and backed by a star team of Scandinavian musicians, this particular Maijazz concert promises to be one of a kind!
