ISFiT: GURLS // Dokkhuset
GURLS is made up of three of Norway’s most sought-after musicians –all of them taking what they themselves confess is a musical holiday. With their playful energy, sassy self confidence and multitudes of experience in their own bands and projects, together these three consummate musicians have formed a gently funky unit that communicates spontaneously and goes deep.
Tickets are sold from October 25th, 12.00!
It’s not often you find such a huge amount of indisputably cutting-edge jazz potential packed into a single trio, but with GURLS, that’s exactly what you get. Wait –did we just say ‘potential’? These prize-winning people have moved far beyond that stage. They’ve already started realising their massive potential and were already sounding like a finished product a long time ago.

I have never yet witnessed her at a concert where she didn’t add something extra.
