Wesseltoft-Andersen-Nilssen Trio – the new super trio
Bugge Wesseltoft, Arild Andersen, Gard Nilssen. Just savor the names. It’s almost impossible to get closer to a supergroup, both here in Norway and far beyond our borders.

Keyboard chief Jens Christian Bugge Wesseltoft (61), bass maestro Arild Andersen (79), and the great new drummer Gard Nilssen (42) represent three generations of Norwegian jazz musicians, all of whom belong right up there in the international elite class.

A rather random meeting a couple of years ago led to the three playing together for the first time. The result was obvious: the brief musical encounter was far too fine and exciting to end there and then.
