So far we´re having a great time on tour in Poland. Two concerts is made, Sucha Beskidzka and Przemysl. Great places and great vibes from the audiences – both venues were packed. Now we´re back in Krakow and will play a concert here on wednesday at Magazyn Kultury, and at ‘Pardon To Tu’ in Warzaw on thursday. Friday it´s London Jazz Festival.

Here´s some impressions from Poland so far.

Live in Skien 19th of September 2012

The great Skien-based photographer Ketil Hardy went to our concert in the Church of Skien the 19th of September. Our friend ad long-time collaborator, Andreas Paleologos, joined us doing live visuals in the high ceiling of the room (50 meters high!). This church, or cathedral, is an out-of-the-ordinary good place for experiencing live music, and both musically and visually this was indeed an evening to remember.

Snapshots from our tour in Italy

From 30th of June to 4th of July, we were on a tour in the Südtirol area in Italy, close to the border to Germany. We had a great time doing concerts at the most beautiful venues surrounded by the Alps. We were also fortunate to meet a lot of great people, and here´s some snapshots from our trip..

The concerts took place during the Südtirol Jazz Festival Alto Aldige. A great festival with over 100 concerts in the area of Südtirol/Alto Aldige.
