I recorded 4 pieces by composer Jonas S Bohlin over the last years including a solo cello piece at Operan just a few months ago. Always so grateful for his trust and enthusiasm. My condolences to all those close to him.

Earlier this week I flew to Oslo and gave a talk at Y-Oslo. It’s a talk about the human spirit, believing in yourself, how AI is bullshit, and how capitalism robs us of our confidence. Pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea or whatever makes you happy and enjoy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH2d...

Har skrevet om saksofonisten Anna Högberg Attack!s rystende, vakre og helende 'Ensamseglaren', og vurdert Zanussi 3s "bare" jazz, bass og fortreffelig musikalske samhandling og oppfinnsomhet på 'A Keen Beast' som gild nok i seg selv i dagens Musikkmagasinet i Klassekampen. Les i papir og i e-avisa.
