Norway ́s Trondheim Jazz Orchestra is an unpredictable beast - constantly reborn from its ashes like a phoenix, its wings has taken it to a multitude of distant musical skies over the last 20 years. Having cooperated closely with luminaries such as Pat Metheny and Joshua Redman, they are equally known for being a catalyst and laboratory for young composers, like Norway’s own SKRAP, Eirik Hegdal, Hedvig Mollestad and outside forces such as Anna Webber and Cory Smythe. Beginning on a high note in 2000 with a now legendary gig at the Molde Jazz Festival with Chick Corea, the TJO has since done hundreds of concerts around the world, and are today considered to be at the apex of large ensemble music in Europe. «I can’t believe that anybody could push jazz any further, but I look forward to somebody picking up that gauntlet and it may well be the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra themselves, ever restless, incredibly inventive and on the strength of this, untouchable.» (Freq.org.uk)
