Thomas Winther Andersen - Bass
Natalio Sued - Tenor saxophone
Mark Coehoorn - Drums
Håkon Storm - Guitar
Winther - Storm released their first album Patchwork in november 2010. Musical inspiration comes from a wide specter of jazz styles as developed over the passed 50 years.
The band balances their sound between an acoustic jazz quartet and an electric band. The repertoir is mainly composed by Winther Andersen and Håkon Storm. Dreamy ballads, Blues riffs, jazz harmonies with lyrical lines, intense modal improvisations with strong rhythmic character. It all seems to blend well with these versatile musicians.
The combination of three nationalities, individual voices, original compositions and meeting point Amsterdam has already prooved to be an successful blend. It will evolve live at jazz stages years to come.
The corporation between the Norwegian guitarist and bassist goes back for more than two decades. Together they also recorded two cds with the band Line Up featuring Jimmy Halperin on saxophone.

...The quartet utilizes a modern jazz language for individual views, that blow you away and leave you behind with a big smile.
Helge Olsen, Bergens Tidene 03/11 2010
......The title Patchwork suits the music, both serving the general listeners as well as the musicians who want to check scales, chords and rhythm. A good combination
Ole Albrekt Nedrelid, Jazznytt:2010
....... Very Listenable it is too.Dagens Næringsliv 9/1 1999
........The project is carried out in a grand way, with eminent solo performances
Dagsavisen 10/1 99 The name Line Up originates from Lennie Tristano's famous variation of the same name, based on "All Of Me" from 1955. Tristano's solo seemed to be an impossibility. We think the impossible is a decent aim to have, hence the name of the band!Tenorsaxophone: Natalio Sued
