Winther-Storm

Artist Information

Biography

Winther - Storm released their second album Spinnaker in October 2012. April 2013 it was nominated for the 12th Independent Music Award. Musical inspiration comes from a wide specter of jazz styles as developed over the passed 50 years. The sound balances between an acoustic jazz quartet and an electric band. Dreamy ballads, Blues riffs, jazz harmonies with lyrical lines, intense modal improvisations with strong rhythmic character. It all seems to blend well with these versatile musicians.

The group was founded in 2009. Three nationalities, original compositions and Amsterdam was the setting for their first CD recording Patchwork. This CD was very well received and the composition Trance-formations won 3rd prize at the International Songwriting Contest 2010. The cooperation between the Norwegian guitarist and bassist goes back more than two decades. Together they also recorded two CD's with the band Line Up, featuring Jimmy Halperin on saxophone: Out From A Cool Storage and Line Up
