Music For A While

MUSIC FOR A WHILE is an ensemble that consists of some of the finest Norwegian jazzmusicians. The ensemble was established in 2004, devoted to playing the music of the great composer Kurt Weill. Since its establishment, the ensemble has had numerous concerts with great success and they have made more and more people in Norway interested in the music of Kurt Weill. The autumn 2007 they will travel throughout Norway playing concerts with the music of Kurt Weill. They release their debut cd on Grappa, Weill Variations, October 8 2007. The ensemble plays the music of Kurt Weill from both his German, French and American period. The music they play is written between the end of the 1920’ till the end of the 1940’. MUSIC FOR A WHILE wants to give the music of Kurt Weill their personal touch, though never without the highest respect of the composer. The music of Kurt Weill is however, so brilliant that still in a more moderne variation, it sparkles just as much.
