Finally, we have the pleasure of putting on Come Shine in our intimate venue! After a too long hiatus, we again present a band that shows how exciting and vibrant the standard of jazz can be. We, and many others, claim that Come Shine is a world class band! We present Erlend Skomsvolls breakneck arrangements, Live Maria Roggen playful, powerful vocals, Sondre Meisfjord singing bass and Håkon Johansen Mjåset energetic drumming in a unique collaboration. As Dagbladet’s Terje Mosnes reported from Oslo Jazz Festival’s opening concert 2011: «Come Shine … spent exactly 17 seconds to confirm that the magic of the golden age still exists and showed unified collaborative effort, improvisational delight and gambled on what jazz can be when its moorings are loosened.» We have had the great pleasure of performances by Live Maria Roggen on several occasions, most recently at the tribute night to Sidsel Endresen, and we know so well how she can hit a nerve. In this group she is in special company, enjoy!
