Dear all,
Two or three weeks have passed already, but our little tour in my home county, Telemark, at the end of February must be mentioned. It was a really great experience to be "home" and yet it was "the first time" on three out of four nights! We went to play in small towns such as Seljord, Rjukan, and Drangedal, and ended the tour in the city of Porsgrunn where we have been several times, and where it was sold out this particular night! We were honoured. Every place and venue was something different, though Rjukanhuset will be remembered for it's unique style. A rare mix of rural and continental atmosphere. A big thanks goes to everyone who came to our concerts and made each night special! The local newspapers wrote great reviews as well. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to translate them for you. Forgive me for that. I'll add them anyway. Who knows, maybe you even know a bit Norwegian?:) Here they are: TA (from the first gig in Seljord), Kragerø Blad, Porsgrunn Dagblad.
I wish you all a happy Easter!!T

Happy New Year everyone!
A nice and quiet Christmas is over, and I'm ready to start working again. Before Christmas I went on a great tour with the Jazzchoir Freiburg, in Germany this time. And the German people gave the same warm response I've so often experienced in this country!! Also went to a couple of really great venues which were new to me, and where I wish to come back with my band some time soon. For those of you interested in medium sized, classy, sophisticated and intimate jazzclubs, stop by the BIX jazzclub in Stuttgart whenever you get the chance. I loved the place. During Christmas I also got to be part of a great happening in my home town Skien where many wonderful musicians gathered at Kafe K and had two days of various jazz concerts! With loads of people coming and all these great musicians spreading good vibes and quality music, the Christmas holiday came out even better than expected:)
Updates on the coming album are as follows. We plan to release it early 2009. I will write like crazy, making sure it's good enough before anyone else listens or even buys it. It takes a while, but it's the only way.
Best wishes for the new year to you all!!

Hi all,
My trip to Japan and South Korea is one of the most amazing experiences I've had in my life!! The concerts were so much fun, because of all the wonderful musicians in Jazzchor Freiburg, the great response from the audience and the lovely people who arranged this tour for us. And then I haven't even started to tell you about the food, the Pasific Ocean, and all the other things I now remember, but do not know exactly how to describe in words. I came back to Norway with a deeply felt longing to go back as soon as possible!
Yesterday, we just got back from Germany where we had two great nights. As always, we feel so welcome there! I'm truly looking forward to come back with Jazzchor Freiburg in December!
So long,
Torun

Hi everybody!
Just came back from a great night at the Rheingau Musik Festival. Schloss Vollrads is the most beautiful place. We played there for a thousand people who made the evening wonderful! Thank you to all of you for being there with us!
About the third album, the new songs are taking shape, but there is still some work left to be done...
In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer!!
Torun
