Motif is a Nowegian group that features Atle Nymo as tenor, Havard Wilk on piano, Ole Morten Vagan as double bass, Hakon Mjaset Johansen and Hakon Miset Johansen as drums. Axel Dorner, a German trumpeter, joins them for the occasion. The traditional bop quintet is made up of all five musicians. Music that is fully composed, arranged and structured …. with a twist. They are masters at deconstruction and reconstruction. Although they can take their themes to wild places or explore new avenues, they always return to the core of the piece. from http://freejazz-stef.blogspot.com
