Giuffre Memorial TRIO

Giuffre Memorial TRIO, comprised of Roger Arve Vigulf (clarinet), Per Christian Arnesen (bass) and Bjørn Norvall Hoemsnes (piano), was created in July 2021 to pay homage to the legendary Free Fall recording from 1963 by Jimmy Giuffre, Paul Bley and Steve Swallow. In tradition with the free improvisation genre, our music is made on the spot at the moment. We refer to this as “compovisation” (not “improvisation”), since we are classically trained musicians and composers – not jazz musicians.

The album title “The Five Ways” refers to one of the tracks from the 1963 Jimmy Giuffre album. Our aim is to bring the temperament and atmosphere of Free Fall forward to the present time.

The release of our debut album is expected in November 2022.
