Fot har i samarbeid med Figurteateret i Nordland (FiN) den store glede av å arrangere konsert med Arild Andersen Trio på Figurteateret i Stamsund. Dette står å lese om trioen på managementets hjemmeside:

The trio of Arild Andersen, Tommy Smith and Paolo Vinaccia is one of the most exciting new groups to appear on the European jazz scene in years.

Anchored by the massively sonorous, muscular double bass playing of Andersen, who has been one of the major figures in Scandinavian jazz since his early 1970s work with Jan Garbarek, the group marries melodic invention with crisp rhythms and rich colouring.

Scottish saxophonist Smith’s tough yet tender tenor playing and Italian-born, Norwegian-based Vinaccia’s creative, imaginative drumming combine with Andersen’s remarkable flexibility and use of multi-layered lines to create a sound that’s orchestral in scope and yet superbly mobile.

In january 2009 Arild Andersen was named European Jazzmusician of the Year 2008 by the Academie du Jazz in France for his latest release – the critical acclaimed album LIVE at BELLEVILLE.
