Three Trapped Tigers at PUNKT 2012

The Punkt Festival in Kristiansand is starting tomorrow (6 - 8 September).

I´m not going this year, but let´s get a PUNKT feeling anyway in the blog, with Three Trapped Tigers in concert, and a remix by Arve Henriksen, Jan Bang, Eivind Aarset and Erik Honoré from the 2012 festival (posted on YouTube by Jazzland).

Punkt in Milano

Jan Bang (electronics), Erik Honoré (electronics), Arve Henriksen (trumpet, voc, perc), Eivind Aarset (guitar, electronics) and Hamid Drake (drums) in Milano 20 Jan 2013.

And don´t forget Eivind Aarset´s beautiful new album "Dream Logic" on ECM (Free Jazz review), Rune Grammofon´s Arve Henriksen vinyl box set, "Solidification" (The Liminal review).

"Solidification" contains all Arve Henriksen´s solo albums on Rune, with bonus tracks, 2 DVDs and the new album "Chron". "Chron" will probably only be released as part of this box set, or?
