about
Evan Parker - saxophones Sten Sandell - piano Ingebrigt Håker Flaten - bass Paal Nilssen-Love - drums The quartet came together in 2002, after the Kongsberg Jazz Festival's call for Nilssen-Love to put together "his own" band. The name is taken from the venue where the Quartet had its debut, "Byorkesterets Hus" in Kongsberg. Townhouse Orchestra consists of some of Europe's strongest voices within improvised music and jazz, and they are working as a collective, where music and expression are the focus. The band is also how a orchestra should be: A collective where all members are equal, and where improvisation is the focus - Free improvisation where each musician's personal history and experience shapes the band's sound.
