Famous Norwegian jazz-vocalist Solveig Slettahjell has long had the idea of making a quartet album based on her selected ‘Nordic Songbook’ and has collected songs for this project over several years. In this eclectic collection we find Edvard Grieg's "Ved Rondane", Eva Dahlgren's "Guldlock", Alf Proysen's "Trassvisa Hennes Tora", songs by Allan Edwall, Orup and Anne Grethe Preus, interspersed with folk tunes and newly written material by Slettahjell herself and Andreas Ulvo. The quartet consists of some of the biggest musicians in Norwegian jazz at the moment: Andreas Ulvo on piano, Trygve Waldemar Fiske on bass and Pal Hausken on drums. They have tackled the songs on “Gullokk” with the same love and irreverence that characterize jazz's handling of the well-known ‘American Songbook’.
