Bergen

I am bow in Bergen working with my bass player Magne and my drummer Ivar on some new songs for the next album. I am really excited - it is sounding good:) It is such an inspiration to work with so talented and committed people. It is simply wonderful to finally get to level 2; arranging the songs I have been composing over the last few months.

And even though it´s been terribly cold today Bergen has really showed itself from its best side: sun and clear blue sky, and lots of smiling people:)

all the best,
Randi

Cristmas song

I forgot to mention that I have been co-writing a Christmas song with Hanne Sørvaag (known for composing the Norwegian song for the Eurovision Song Contest , great songwriter) and Britt-Synnøve Johansen (wellknown singer and actress in Norway). It has turned out really wonderful - a nice melody with Norwegian lyrics. We recorded it this week and it will be launched as a radio singel by the end of November. We are doing a Christmas concert together on the 16th of Dec in Stavanger Konserthus.

kind regards,
Randi

Germany

After several concerts in Norway this fall the Randi Tytingvåg Ensemble is going back to Germany next week. On the 4th we play a concert in Hamburg and on the 5th we play in Jena. We are really looking forward to it!
In February we will tour in Germany, Austria and Italy. I will keep you posted as soon as I get the details!

I like this season...a lot of rain and wind... a good excuse to stay inside and drink red wine:)

Have a good weekend!

all the best,
Randi

I just came home from Oslo. We really enjoyed playing at Nasjonal Jazzscene Victoria! Wonderful crew and wonderful audience. And I am so happy with my ensemble - what great musicians and personalities! Can´t wait to play in Stavanger on Sunday:)

This week I will be giving singing lessons at Rogaland Teater and finishing up some of my new songs. I am so grateful to have such an exiting job.

all the best,
Randi

6th and 7th of August in the South of Germany

Just got back from two wonderful gigs in the South of Germany. We had such a great time! On the 6th of August we played an open air concert in Hassloch, in the oldest house/backyard in the region. A fantastic atmosphere! 250 tickets were sold before we got there - and about 350 people at the concert all in all. The day after we drove to Düsseldorf for a jazz festival there. We played a concert in a huge park and over 1000 people came. The German audiences are spoiling us! :)
Now I am back home in Stavanger and feeling very happy and inspired. The next few days I will be composing..

All the best,
Randi
