Jan Gunnar Hoff & Per Mathisen feat Gary Husband & Nguyên Lê
This band made its first appearance at the large outdoor Garana Jazz Fest in Romania in July 2023 and received rave reviews, including from Czech Jazzport, which writes: “This European all-star line-up presented music ranging from lyrical acoustic landscapes to high-voltage rock jazz. All four convincingly showed their individual virtuoso skills, their interplay was captivating and explosive”. In addition to Hoff and his long-time collaborator Per Mathisen on bass, the band consists of UK drum legend Gary Husband and French/Vietnamese guitar giant Nguyen Le.
