Whether the point of departure is Kurt Weill's familiar cabaret melodies or songs and pieces from the classical repertoire, two elements consistently stand out: vocalist Tora Augestad's vocal control and unique communication skills, and the band's elegant, seamless and genre-crossing treatment of the material.
MUSIC FOR A WHILE tear down boundaries and crumbling conventions, bringing the music even closer to its origins. In addition to singer Tora Augestad, the ensemble features a dream team of Norwegian jazz musicians:
Stian Carstensen, accordion & pedal steel
Mathias Eick, trumpet
Martin Taxt, tuba
Pål Hausken, drums & percussion
