Ole Børud Live at Gullbranna, Sweden July 2011

[AndrewMeronek]

Ole Borud is not a trombonist; he's the lead vocalist and guitarist.

But - there is a really nice trombone solo embedded far into the set, starting at 54:05, by Even Kruse Skatrud.

Scandinavian funk is funky funk, apparently.

Ran across this shorter clip, which is in the OP at around 40:30.



All the tunes are great, but IMHO this one is the standout for being musically adventurous. How funky can a bunch of Scandinavians playing in 7 be?

Answer: stank face.

Huh, looks like these folks are still at it. This apparently is from Copenhagen in 2022.

I don't know which language they're actually singing in (besides the English mixed in), although I'm always impressed to see people speak any of these Scandanavian languages without severe tongue and jaw sprains.
