Ensemble Denada plus JIB@JazzFest: Triofino
Past Dates
Ensemble Denada
Ensemble Denada is recognized for its demanding art music, performed with a groovy twist and a dash of absurd Norwegian esprit. This 14-piece ensemble from Oslo may look like a big band, but it is truly an oversized quintet. The size and the line up generate some unique musical opportunities, boosting the interaction between composer/bandleader Helge Sunde and the performers.
It is a musical collective where the creative process leading from the rehearsal room to the stage ist he main asset, blending strict composition and total improvisation.
The concert is also a release concert for the cd Finding Nymo (ACT 9492-2)
