Bo Stief ”Nordic Root” – Tore Brunborg, Krister Jonsson.
The world famous Danish bass player and composer, Bo Stief, is now leading a new trio. Nordic
Root is the title of Stief`s new musical top meeting with saxophone player and composer Tore
Brunborg from Norway and Swedish guitar player and composer Krister Jonsson.
An alternative, outgoing and relevant meeting between three musicians, who shares a wish of a
sound with roots in the Nordic. The Nordic mind, temper, the Nordic taste, attitude, aesthetics and
peculiarity is the basic inspiration.
The three musicians will create a soundtrack to where we live and the age we live in with basis
in the Swedish, the Norwegian and the Danish. A soundtrack which does not confess in genres and
which is based on the three artists´ openness, versatility and desire to play contemporary and vivid
music. The music is based on universal terms as atmosphere, audio pictures, beauty, vitality,
easiness, sense of humour, variation, ensemble playing and personal creativity.
The passion for creating as well through-composed as spontaneous improvised music is the
foundation of the community spirit between these musicians – a community that aims at giving the
audience an experience.
