Jazz Intro – Chuck People
Usually, Moldejazz hosts the finals of the Jazz intro. Due to the current Corona situation, all festivals that should've run semi-finals have been cancelled. The solution is that Moldejazz hosts the first semi-final and that with two great bands, Kongle Trio and Chuck People.
The future sound of Norwegian Jazz
The members of the jazz quartet Chuck People met through their jazz studies in Trondheim just over three years ago. They're all established on the young Norwegian jazz scene. The quartet plays self-composed music based on American jazz from the 50s and 60s. They've found great inspiration by the great saxophone heroes Joe Henderson, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane.
Erlend Vangen Kongtorp – saxophone, Hogne Kristoffer Kleiberg (Trondheim) – piano, Alf Svendsen Høines – double bass, Martin Heggli Mellem (Lier) – drums.
