In Perpetuity

0 - Default Title
Description
The Edinburgh-based Haftor Meedbøe Group are a spellbinding and international hybrid - four members, four homelands - with a truly unique blend of jazz, strings and technology. Norway, Iceland, Australia and Scotland are the countries in question with Scotland's cultural capital the perfect melting pot. This album has been two years in development during which time Haftor invited the award-winning Edinburgh Quartet to add their blend of strings to his already unique sound. 'In Perpetuity' combines bold and vibrant sax lines provided by Susan MacKenzie, the fluid languor of Chris Greive's trombone and distinctive and melodic guitar by Haftor Medbøe. Signy Jakobsdottir underpins the music through sensitive yet propelling globally-inspired percussion, creating deep grooves and delicate textures. The finished result is a successful amalgamation of clical discipline and jazz improvisation that combines with beautiful melodies to create a truly mesmerizing and memorable album. The Haftor Medbøe Group is already well known in Scotland, where Haftor is Jazz Musician in Residence at Napier University. They are familiar guests at many of the UK's top jazz festivals including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Islay, Manchester and the Isle of Wight. They have performed for HRH Prince of Wales at Holyrood Palace and have supported Bill Frisell, The Bad Plus and Esbjorn Svensson Trio not to mention performing a raft of festival and club appearances across Europe.....
