“Oslo” from the album “Skala“.

Mathias Eick’s intensely melodic trumpet occupies the centre-stage in this album of self-penned tunes which will appeal to an audience beyond “jazz”. Against the powerful backdrops offered by his sleek, modern band, driven by two drummers, he delivers richly lyrical soliloquies.

Personnel:
Mathias Eick – trumpet
Andreas Ulvo – piano
Audun Erlien – electric bass
Torstein Lofthus – drums
Gard Nilssen – drums
Morten Qvenild – keyboards
Tore Brunborg – tenor saxophone
Sidsel Walstad – harp
