Torun Eriksen & Bjørn Klakegg, Johannes Eick & Per Willy Aaserud

The Christmas concert *Songs of Joy and Peace* has become a beloved tradition for many, bringing together some of the country's premier jazz musicians and audiences for a soothing interlude during the holiday preparations. This tradition celebrates its 15th anniversary this evening at Hærverk. The quartet consists of Torun Eriksen – vocals, Bjørn Klakegg – guitars, Johannes Eick – double bass, and guest soloist Per Willy Aaserud – trumpet. About the album: *Songs of Joy and Peace* was released in 2010 on Jazzland Recordings. Torun Eriksen and Frøydis Grorud wanted to create a different kind of Christmas album. They brought along two of their great heroes, Bjørn Kjellemyr (bass) and Bjørn Klakegg (guitar). The quartet went to Klakegg's farm, set up in the stable, and recorded a soft and beautiful album in Norwegian, featuring both new and old, familiar and lesser-known Christmas songs. Here you will find “Deilig Er Jorden”, “Jeg synger Julekvad” and “Det Lyser i Stille Grender” alongside “Karl-Bertil Jonnsons Julafton”, “Elv”, Eriksen's Norwegian translation of Joni Mitchell's “River”, and her own original “Vente På Jul”.
