about

Jan Gunnar Hoff was born and lives in Bodø, Norway, a town of some 50,000 residents just above the Arctic Circle. He has a global reputation as a pianist and composer and is a Grammy-nominated performer. Jan Gunnar describes himself as standing at a point of intersection between his classical music background and the genres of jazz, folk, funk, and rock. He has released 20 albums and written 250 works as a composer, soloist and co-leader. He is an official Steinway and Sons Artist. I was originally introduced to Hoff’s music by Sydney bass player, Dave Ellis.

I find Jan Gunnar inspirational as, like me, he has more than one style: the cool, modal Scandinavian jazz of Living and jazz-fusion, as evidenced in the Acuna/Hoff/Mathisen trio. Jan Gunnar wrote to me: ‘I composed Living in the month of December, the darkest period of the year in northern Norway. Yet there are the northern lights and the spectacular views and landscapes of the north. Sitting in my country composer’s cabin, I got the inspiration from the fjord view of trying to compose a pentatonic and singable main theme for a larger commission, also called Living. Living was first presented at a performance in Bodø concert hall in January 2012 with prominent Nordic jazz performers Marilyn Mazur, Anders Jormin and Arve Henriksen.’ (Jenny Eriksson)
