Wolfram Trio

Wolfram Trio is a group that seeks inspiration in acoustic free jazz, as well as modern contemporary improvised music. With heroes such as Albert Ayler, Peter Brötzmann and Barry Guy, some listeners claim to recognize these roots, but still admits that the trio has managed to create their own original sound. Wolfram plays improvised music and the result often tends to be spontaneous, fearless and explosive.

The band has excisted in this format since 2008, but the three members in Wolfram has been very good friends from way back.

Their first album, the self-titled Wolfram was released on Va Fongool Records, and both Wolfram and Va Fongool is currently working on their next album, scheduled for release this autumn.

Wolfram Trio is:
Halvor Meling: Saxophone
Fredrik Luhr Dietrichson: Bass
Jan Martin Gismervik: Drums
