Molecules & Erlend Skomsvoll
The Norwegian six piece jazz group Molecules lead by composer and vocalist Karoline Wallace has together with the Buddy Award-winning Erlend Skomsvoll (known from Come Shine and Trondheim Jazz Orchestra) made a sensational new album. An exciting collaboration with seven jazz musicians sharing a true pleasure of playing with a love for each other and the music. The compositions were written with the intent of creating space for the musicians individual interpretations and musicality, which is apparent on the album in the form of a highly personal interplay.
After winning the "Jazz i sikte”- contest in 2014, Molecules has performed at Nattjazz, Maijazz, Uhørt, toured Norway 2014, Norway and Switzerland 2015, and Norway’s west coast in 2016. The latter tour was the beginning of the collaboration with Erlend Skomsvoll. The musicians in Molecules all come from the Grieg Academy in Bergen and are all active musicians in a number of well established bands such as Håkon Kornstad Tenor Battle, Come Shine, 1982, Natalie Sandtorv and Vellichor.
