David Arthur Skinner solo jazzpiano

David Skinner is one of Norway's foremost jazz pianists, specializing in swing jazz and "stride" piano. His unique solo performances draw inspiration from both jazz and the classical piano tradition. Skinner has run the jazz club Café Society Oslo at the Nordic Black Theatre since January 2019, and is also one of the organizers behind the Oslo Swing Jazz Festival. He is furthermore an active educator, working as a university lecturer at the Norwegian Academy of Music. Audiences can expect a mix of well-known jazz tunes, original compositions, blues, and ballads – performed with virtuosity, imagination, and humor. Skinner has recently recorded a new solo album featuring folk music, primarily from the British Isles, where he presents his own personal interpretations of the traditional melodies. The album has not yet been released, but you will get to hear excerpts from it during the concert. NB! There will not be a dance floor at this concert.
