Mette Rasmussen / Virginia Genta / John Edwards / Chris Corsano Quartet
Rising star Mette Rasmussen in an international super quartet!
The Danish saxophonist Mette Rasmussen has lived in Trondheim for the last few years after she completed her music education there. In a short time, she has gained a reputation as the new, quite sensational free jazz star. She has a power of expression that is completely unique, and she can get an unimaginably varied flora of sounds out of her alto sax. Mette Rasmussen has played a lot Chris Corsano, a drummer who is truly the master of the musical conversation. Corsano is a versatile musician, and has played both with Bjørk and Evan Parker.
The Italian saxophonist Virginia Genta has many of the same qualities as Mette Rasmussen. With her expressive and emotional playing, she makes us glimpse Albert Ayler somewhere far back. Both she and Mette Rasmussen make their Kongsberg debut with this concert. The bassist John Edwards, on the other hand, has played at Kongsberg before – several times. No wonder that; such a talented musician 'everyone' wants to play along.
