The Ola Kvernberg Trio was established in 2000, at that time it consisted of
violinist Ola Kvernberg together with bassplayer Steinar Raknes and american
guitarplayer Doug Raney. Since then, the trio has been through a few changes,
the latest was adding swedish drummer Erik Nylander autumn 2004. Ola grew up in
a musical family, playing in the fiddle folk music tradition of his mom and
granddad. Studying classical and folk music from age 6, he discovered jazz music
at age 16 and has since then pursued his interest in improvised music. The trios
reportoire today consists mainly of Olas compositions; a mixture of bebop,
folkmusic-fiddling and modal jazz. Focusing on the interplay, the result is
quite a unique sound: everything from burnin to intepretating soft songs.
