{"product_id":"berg-frode-powell-roy-dig-it-0645347204027","title":"Dig It!","description":"Frode Berg has been an important force on the Norwegian music scene for the past 10 years, appearing on countless TV shows and CD recordings in his native land. He has also toured throughout Europe with such international artists as: Nils ter Molvaer, Bugge Wesseltoft (both were featured in early line ups of Frode's band), Frank Gambale, Silje Nergård, Donna Summer, Sir Paul McCartney and Art Garfunkel. This diverse background has helped him form a unique and virtuosic voice on the bass - both on acoustic upright and electric bass guitar. This CD is the bassist's first for Hamburg's Nagel Heyer records and was recorded by Frode Berg's touring quartet. It consists of some of Norway's leading jazz musicians - ter Wettre on tenor saxophone, Roy Powell (who leads his own groups with Arild Andersen on bass) on piano, and Andreas Bye (a sometime John Taylor sideman) on drums. The music on 'Dig It' is mainly composed and arranged by Berg, with two pieces by Roy Powell. However one composition isn't penned by a band member - a funky and possibly irreverent version of John Coltrane's \"Giant Steps\". It's this approach which sums up this adventurous yet accessible set. Personnel: Frode Berg - (acoustic bass, 6-string electric bass), ter Wettre - (tenor saxophone), Roy Powell - (piano), Andreas Bye - (drums)","brand":"Nagel-Heyer Records (Rough Trade)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53751338664278,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_0645347204027_1.jpg?v=1778903601","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/berg-frode-powell-roy-dig-it-0645347204027","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
