he solo concertos of Madsen allow the Staff Band to bring some of their own finest soloists in front of the band for this recording. The title Sketches of Norway is of course a reference to Miles\u2019 legendary Sketches of Spain, and rightly labels Trygve Madsen as a composer with a wide and generous set of references. His music is melodically modern, with roots in jazz and recent French and Russian contemporary music. The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces presents a line-up of fantastic soloists, prize-winners in national and international competitions.<\/p>\n
