Dr. Bekken & Richard Gjems

The Brief

Pianist Tor Einar "Dr." Bekken and harmonica player Richard Gjems rank among Norway’s most uncompromising musicians. Drawing inspiration from the forests of Norway to the blues of Louisiana, they blend jazz, blues, and folk into a boundary-crossing and virtuosic journey. Their acclaimed albums Songs From a Forest and Slaveriet have earned glowing reviews, and the duo is now working on the final part of their instrumental trilogy. On stage, they deliver beauty, melancholy, and joy – true music experiences that stay with you.
