Tasteful and melodic swing jazz

A star-studded band with a tailor-made repertoire, the Snorre Kirk European Quartet is a reminder of how much joy playing, presence and – not least – driving swing have to say for a classic jazz experience. After working with, among others, Diane Schuur and Eric Reed, Kirk himself has gained momentum in his composing career, and creates songs that sound modern and classic at the same time. In the quartet, he has teamed up with two of Britain's finest instrumentalists - with likes of Wynton Marsalis to Jamie Cullum on the CV - as well as recurring collaborator Anders Fjeldsted on bass.
