Eirik Hegdal is well-known for leading the impressive and populous Trondheim Jazz Orchestra from 2002-2017, where he composed audacious scores and collaborated with international greats like Joshua Redman, Pat Metheny, and Dave Holland. Team Hegdal is the Norwegian saxophonist/clarinetist’s compositional playground for the small band format, and over the course of five albums, the virtuosic, locked-in ensemble has been "undeniably responsible for the most stimulating music to come out of Norway in many, many years (DIG Jazz).” With drummer�Gard Nilssen, bassist Ole Morten Vågan, and Atle Nymo on tenor saxophone and bass clarinet,�Hegdal combines exquisite melodic flair with a sometimes absurd sense of humor. Whatever game the Team is playing, the rules about genre boundaries are very permissive, these Spellemannprisen (Norwegian GRAMMY) winners snag a bit from Olivier Messiaen, a bit from Duke Ellington, Ornette, and Monk, and a bit of anything else that strikes their artistic fancy.
