Music video!

Today, I “officially” released my first music video ever. It´s quite an oddity in the jazz world, but hey, it´s great fun. Johs Bøe and Silje Engeland has produced the video, and it features the tune “Prolleprepp” from the Hotel Interludes album.

I dag publiserte jeg min aller første musikkvideo. Det er en ganske uvanlig ting å gjøre i jazzverdenen, men artig er det likevel! Johs Bøe og Silje Engeland har produsert videoen, og den inneholder låten “Prolleprepp” fra Hotel Interludes.

 

Great review in TV2/Nettavisen!

Hayden Powell Trio releases its debut album the 16th of September. The album is called “The Attic”, an homage to the legendary Musikkloftet studios in Oslo. We were the last band to produce an album there before they closed down.

The album has turned out to be a great one, and we are really happy to announce its release! The music is split in half by trio tunes and quartet/quintet tunes. As mentioned, the album is recorded at Musikkloftet, I have mixed it, and Bob Katz has done mastering.

Lineup:

Hayden Powell – trumpet & firebird

Eyolf Dale – piano

Jo Skaansar – bass

Jasper Van Hulten – drums

Tore Brunborg – sax

Erik Johannesen – trombone

For the most part, the music is written by Powell, but Skansaar and I contribute with one song each.

The release is celebrated with a release concert at Nasjonal Jazzscene Victora in Oslo the 16th of September, and a tour in Norway in October. Welcome!
