Guro Skumsnes Moe


Here is a Norwegian bass player to look out for. Guro Skumsnes Moe played with Art Directors and Fred Frith in Oslo in the beginning of August, and the other day she played with Maja Ratkje and Else Olsen Storesund at the Oslo Jazz Festival.

The record company Conrad Sound will soon release an album by Sekstett (yes, meaning sextet), whose band members are Lene Grenager, Børre Mølstad, Håvard Skaset, Frode Gjerstad, Hild Sofie Tafjord and Guro Skumsnes Moe.
And they do a concert in Bergen 7 September, if you should happen to be here.

Check out the Art Directors video (from 2007), where they play Frank Zappa´s "Who are the brain police" (from Mothers of Invention - "Freak Out!"- 1966). Or watch another format over at YouTube.
