Commissioned work: “Ibsens ripsbusker....”  ("Ibsen's redcurrant bushes ....")

In 2012 Albatrosh composed a piece for Grenland Jazz Forum's annual christmas concert SMOG. The work “Ibsens ripsbusker og alle de andre stedene du heller ikke veit hvor er” ("Ibsen's redcurrant bushes and all the other places you would rather not know") was performed by an expanded lineup consisting of Helge Andreas Nordbakken, Per Zanussi, Thomas T. Dahl, and sound designer Asle Karstad guarantor for the project´s artistic vision. On the last Friday in January, they are coming with all the bells to Victoria to perform it again for the benefit of the capital's jazz audience.

Albatrosh, which is usually a duo, was named young jazz musicians of the year in 2008, and has in recent years been strongly recognised both at home and abroad with extensive touring and positive press coverage. In addition, the latest album "Yonkers" was released in 2011 on Rune Grammofon.
