The Real Thing

The Real Thing brings organ-based soul jazz to the Kongsberg Jazz Festival!

Concert starts: 20:30 Single ticket price: NOK 350

Since its inception in 1992 (30th anniversary 2022!), The Real Thing has played more than 1 concerts and sold over 600 records of hard-swinging, organ-based soul jazz, inspired by greats such as Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, George Benson and Wes Montgomery. The band that "never leaves the stage in a dry tuxedo" has built up a solid fan base outside the jazz community as well. Organist Palle Wagnberg, guitarist Staffan William-Olsson, saxophonist Dave Edge and drummer Hermund Nygård are looking forward to firing up the hammond organ, checking that the loop is straight and letting loose on old and new repertoire. 
 
Concert start 20.30
The doors open at 19.30
