Jan Erik Vold & John Pål Inderberg - Jazz & Poesi / Kulturfabrikken

The audience will hear a musical poetry reading presented by Jan Erik Vold in conjunction with melodies from American cool jazz, so-called lines combined with Norwegian folk tones, led by saxophonist John Pål Inderberg. The lyrics are taken from several of Jan Erik's own poems and publications, including from the album 'Her er huset som Per bygde' and the legendary 'Blåmann, blåmann!'.
