Sur POING Release New CD, Oslo - Norwayby Harley Jones |
The Norwegian trio POING is one of Scandinavia's most interesting ensembles in the contemporary field. Known for their wild virtuosity, humor, seriousness and improving, POING is impossible to categorise. POING consists of Rolf-Erik Nystrøm (saxophone), Frode Haltli (accordion) and Håkon Thelin (double bass). They started playing together in 1999 and have played in clubs and concert halls in most European countries, the US as well as in China and Japan, with more than 100 first performances. Their constant touring has taken POING all over the world, including such festivals as Other Minds, Huddersfield and Klangspuren. 'sur POING' is the result of several years of collaboration with composers Richard Barrett and Helmut Oehring. The CD is available online through Grappa Musikkforlag AS, Norway. |
