Christian Meaas Svendsen

Norwegian clarinetist Andreas Røysum and the legendary Chicago-based poet / artist Marvin Tate met in 2023, when both were performing at Berlin Jazzfest. “Andreas Røysum Ensemble with Marvin Tate” is the fourth album by the ensemble, and contains the first recorded fruits of this meeting of visionaries. The new-found collaborators bring out the best in each other, reaching new levels of expression and purpose.

Dig into richly evocative and multi-layered poetry, expansive long form compositions and hard-hitting bangers, performed by a killer band who have been sharpening their interplay by years of touring!
