Odd-Arne Jacobsen & Rune Gustavsson - Autumn leaves

This Tv-session is from the talkshow `` Wesenstund`` 1 / 11- 1998. The tv-host was the norwegian comedian, actor and jazz enthusiast, Rolv Wesenlund (1936- 2013).

Playing this session with jazz legend Rune Gustavsson (1933-2012) was a nice experience.

Rune collaborated with Arne Domnerus- Georg Riedel - Jan Johansson- Lars Gullin- Monica Zetterlund.

In other words, Rune represented a rich part of the Scandinavian jazzhistory. Together we did gigs as a duo in Norway- Sweden- and iceland.

Romerike College
Everybody working with music knows that the most voulnerable and unpredictable moment is that microsecond right before the first tones appear. In this video clip these seconds are eternalized at Odd Arne's concert at Romerike College, where Odd Arne with students are about to perform Duke Ellingtons "C - Jam Blues". From the left: Odd-Arne: guitar, Jan Erik: guitar, Tormod: Drums, Espen: tenorsax, Johan: guitar, Øyvind: el. bass. This is in many ways the moment of truth. Now it is up to the musicians to conquer the room and capture the moment.
