Space Available

• Track Listing

2001 release. Space Available is the first album of one of Norway's most critically acclaimed jazz groups, the Kornstad Trio. Over the past few years, a new generation of musicians has entered the Norwegian jazz scene that for so many years meant Jan Garbarek, Terje Rypdal, Jon Christensen, Arild Andersen and Karin Krog, but few others to the international jazz audience. Mainly thanks to the Special Jazz Studies at the Music Conservatory in the city of Trondheim, a steady flow of well-developed new talent has enrichened the Norwegian jazz scene during the nineties, and three of it's most exciting and creative players have joined forces in the Kornstad Trio, a fearlessly improvising little powerhouse with an amazing degree of interplay that is rapidly gaining international recognition. Personnel: Håkon Kornstad - saxophones; Mats Eilertsen - bass; Paal Nilssen-Love - drums.
