The [PIAS] Store

'Avant Folk’ is an all-star cast of Norwegian musicians spanning all ages, generations and genres. An elaboration of Frode Haltli’s work somewhere in the twilight zone between jazz, contemporary and folk music.

Jazzland Recordings is proud to present “Triptyk”, the third album by this exceptional constellation of musicians (including the likes as: Erlend Apneseth, Hans P. Kjorstad, Stale Storlokken, Oddrun Lilja Jonsdottir, Per Oddvar Johansen, Helga Myhr and Ole Morten Vagan) led by one of the Norwegian scene’s most unique and innovative band leaders.

The whole ‘gypsy’ melange is shot through with the distinct flavours of Haltli’s accordion, and it is this key component that manages to not only bind the music seamlessly but to remove it from any obvious genre or timeframe - the music is strange, yet familiar; it carries a voluminous musical history, yet is timeless.
