All activities in the collective are based on jazz, improvisation and art performace and we want to present the artistic way to work for peace and democracy in a showcase at Jazzahead. The majority of the 30 members in the collective are from Norway and Russia, but in the umbrella "Tribute Contemporary Collective" (TCC) we have members also from France and Lithuania too. The name are as it say a tribute to the close and important corporation in the Barents region between artist, organizers an the people. For concert and touring we set together everything from duets e.g. D.Di Piazza/ H. Pedersen, a qvintet with soloist or bigger ensemble where we can include dancers other performance artists. We also proud that many of the most talented musicians and dancers from Norway and Russia are member in TCC.
Its also possible to hire TCC musicians to hold Works-Shops, course and Master Clases.

TCC is supported by the Barents Secretariat through several Norwegian / Russian project running by the North-Norwegian culture and music production company IntraAct Productions. The main touring until now for TCC have been in Russia and its time that the whole European Jazz environment can meet them.
The collective is not only musicians, but include art/acting artist and dancers as well and TCC is one of the main success factors that IntraAct Productions as the only west European company can arrange a festival in Russia, named UrBand Camp.
