Baker Hansen is a jazz band from Norway. Band members: Sigurd Rotvik Tunestveit - vocals and retelling Thomas Husmo Litleskare - trompet Kjetil Jerve - piano Stian Andreas Andersen - bass Tore Flatjord - drums Baker Hansen is the story of five Norwegian jazz performers who took Chet Baker on a Norwegian language course . The result is a fascinating encounter between American cool jazz and Norwegian mountain air , with earlier jazz standards and our own language. What has Chet Baker West Coast sound of Norwegian lyrics do? Not so small, actually . Several years in Scandinavia in the 80s meant that Chet himself collaborated with a number of Norwegian musicians , and particularly famous is the album collaborated with poet Jan Erik Vold. When the quintet Baker Hansen take up the mantle , the songs from Chet Baker's repertoire has gained renewed force through nyskrivne , nynorske texts, re poems by vocalist Sigurd Rotvik Tunestveit from Hallingdal . The fact that the lyrics are in our own language makes public the opportunity to meet this music up close and right with " new ears " on classics from the standard repertoire. With fresh arrangement with hints of both nostalgia and innovation look Baker Hansen audiences rediscover a jazz legend and open øyrene young performers on the Norwegian jazz scene .
