Rising star of Norwegian jazz, Liv Andrea Hauge's piano trio blends the joy of exploring impulses in free improvisation with clear, melodic compositions.
Already acclaimed across the European scene, her trio with Georgia Wartel Collins (double bass), and August Glännestrand (drums) bring their beautiful melodies and broad shape-shifting soundscapes evocative of their Scandinavian homelands to The Cooler, 5 December!
Winners of the 2023 Zenith award for outstanding emerging European artists (in association with IMC’s 12 Points Festival), this ensemble’s instinctive interplay makes for a deeply fulfilling live experience.
The trio were selected for the Footprints Europe programme, and their second album “Ville Blomster” has just been released on Hubro Records. Liv’s compositions focus on groove, simple and singable motifs and exploratory interplay.
The music contains playfulness and melancholy in songs that always have a lot of room for improvisation. Hauge has been commissioned to write a major work for trio, three vocalists and full symphony orchestra for the opening of Bodø24 - European capital of culture.
This tour in Ireland is part of the Better Live Music programme. Better Live is a project co-funded by the European Creative programme of the European Union, and the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage from the Culture Promotion Fund.
