New voices: Tom Hasslan
Guitarist Tom Hasslan has long been well known in the music community in Kongsberg. There he has played in several different constellations and has shown that he has a command of many different musical dialects. With the trio Krokofant, he is now reaching out to a larger audience. For this year's jazz festival in Kongsberg, he brings a brand new quartet.
The drive and energy we hear from the power trio Krokofant, there is every reason to expect from this new quartet as well. When you see who Tom has chosen, you wonder if this one won't sound even rockier. Erlend Slettevoll (The Core) and Trond Frønes (Cadillac, Grand General) and Axel Skalstad (Krokofant) will surely make sure to keep the pot boiling. And band leader Hasslan will show the whole world why Kongsberg Jazzfestival is betting on him, for the man of vigorous and playful and devilish guitar playing will be long in search!
Tom Hasslan (guitar), Erlend Slettevoll (keys), Trond Frønes (bass), Axel Skalstad (drums).
NB: The same ticket applies to both concerts in the "New Voices" series.
