Cologne Jazzweek: Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (Exit) Knarr

In the organizer's words:

Born in Opdal in 1971, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten has been part of Norway's vibrant jazz scene since the mid-1990s. He played in the Maria Kannegård Trio and with bands such as The Source, and toured with Bugge Wesseltoft's New Conceptions Of Jazz. He is bassist in the cooperative trio The Thing with saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and drummer Paal Nilssen-Love, and has also been a sideman for Evan Parker, Paul Lytton, Joe Lovano, Yousef Lateef, Billy Cobham, Chris Potter and Dave Liebman, among others. (Exit) Knarr is a commissioned project that Flaten realized in 2020 for the Vossa Jazz Festival. He has found an international line-up (including featured artist, pianist Marta Warelis, and saxophonist Amalie Dahl) to create a soundscape that brings together different genres and traditions under one roof. (Exit) Knarr explore the singable folklore of Scandivanvia and combine it with their idea of a quirky avant-garde jazz based on chugging grooves and a shimmering pulse.
