Arild Andersen

Norwegian master bassist and ECM recording artist Arild Andersen is a seminal figure in the evolution of European jazz. Following his London Jazz Festival performance as featured soloist with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra in 2011, he returns with a terrific new, international quintet that features some of the continent's most individual soloists - Scottish saxophonist Tommy Smith, Polish pianist Marcin Wasilewski and the effervescent French drummer Patrice Heral.
