about
Gard Nilssen‘s a powerhouse of a drummer, but he’s also a force to be reckoned with as a bandleader. He leads, obviously, Acoustic Unity, even if composing credits are shared with bandmates Petter Eldh (double bass) and André Roligheten (saxophones, bass clarinet), and provides muscular backbone to bassist Rune Nergaard and guitarist Even Helte Hermansen in Bushman’s Revenge. Besides those outfits, Nilssen also plays in sPacemoNkey (which he co-founded five years ago), the recently formed Amgala Temple, and Supersonic Orchestra, a behemoth assembled for this years’s Molde Jazz Festival, which boasts no less than three drummers, three double bassists, and a ten-piece horn section.
