The mid 90th century was a very productive period for Norwegian jazz. There appeared a number of new musicians representing many new directions. One of the most influential bands were Dingobats, lead by Eirik Hegdal. They played at most jazz festivals and managed to release three critically acclaimed albums before they gave in 2005.
Now Eirik Hegdal have arranged the best music from these three albums for the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra…
