Classic jazz at its most pleasant. In 2016, the Danish bass player Anne Mette Iversen regularly visited Luleå in Northern Sweden where Norrbotten Big Band resides. Their collaboration has led to a concert at Aarhus Jazz Festival 2017. They will play new music composed by Iversen in four sections, particularly inspired by the four seasons. – The composition of musicians and their versatility gave me a unique opportunity to play with many different strings as a composer. So I decided to lead the way. Instead of creating the music around a certain ideal sound, I went for variation and a gripping soundscape with many aspects. That's the beauty of this big band. It has truly been a pleasure to be the composer of Norrbotten Big Band, said Anne Metter Iversen from her home in Berlin, where she has lived for several years. Norbotten Big Band is a modern jazz band based in Luleå. The band has been active for more than 20 years under the leadership of several top names in Swedish and international jazz, including composer, arranger, and conductor Örjan Fahlstöm (1989-1996), and post-bop trumpet player Tim Hagans (1996-). The big band often performs with soloists from around the world and has released a string of records throughout the years, such as Norrbotten Big Band in 1996, Future North in 1998 and the Grammy winner The Avatar Sessions: The Music of Tim Hagans in 2009, which featured Randy Brecker, George Garzone, and Peter Erskine. 'Anne Mette's music is classic jazz at its most pleasant.' Johan E. Skoglund, SDS.
