The seventies and the eighties were, for European jazz in general and Norwegian jazz in particular, a period characterized by prosperity and inventiveness. A new Nordic dialect of jazz was developed, with the Norwegian jazz elite as central participants. In recent years, however, a new generation of improvising musicians have appeared on our music scene, with the same will to find their own style.

Curling Legs wants to release the best of this music.
