Patchwork’s sound contains blues riffs, intense modal improvisations, dreamy ballads and jazz harmonies. With a fresh rhythmic approach, these versatile musicians have created an original album in terms of both structure and sound.
Winther-Storm blends effectively an acoustic and electric sound into a dynamic whole. Inspiration comes from a wide specter of jazz developments from the last 50 years, with a few sidetracks into both rock and contemporary classical music. The repertoire is mainly composed by Håkon Storm and Winther Andersen.
The group was founded in 2009. Three nationalities, original compositions and the meeting point in Amsterdam was the setting for their first CD recording. The cooperation between the Norwegian guitarist and bassist goes back more than two decades. Together they also recorded two CDs with the band Line Up, featuring Jimmy Halperin on saxophone: Out From A Cool Storage and Line Up
