On this edition I have a look at Norway's modern contemporary Jazz Scene that developed to one of the most talented, exciting and progressive in Europe and beyond, featuring artists like Arild Andersen, Marius Neset, the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, the Gisle Myklebust Quartet, Tord Gustavsen, In the Country, Jan Garbarek, Terje Rypdal and others.
TALES FROM THE FAR SIDE is live on air on CRC102.9fm and on www.crcfm.ie every Thursday 8-9 pm with a repeat on Saturday 9-10 pm. And there is a podcast of the show available on the web site all through the week. The show has established itself over the years with a small but devoted listenership (even beyond Jazz-fans) and since the introduction on internet the listenership extended nationally and internationally.
