ART // Aksel Rønning Trio was founded by the bandleader Aksel Rønning in the spring of 2019 with former classmates Eskild Okkenhaug (Upright Bass) and August Glännestrand (Drums) at the jazz conservatory in Trondheim, Norway.
The trio mixes a simplicity in their compositions with intuitive musical interaction to creates truly beautiful musical moments.
Having released their debut album “ART” on Øra Fonogram in the spring of 2021, the trio now plan on going on tours to promote their record.
Reviews on debutalbum “ART” by ART//Aksel Rønning Trio:
When I immediately associate ART with Jan Garbarek trio´s legendary record “Til Vigdis”, you can possibly understand the seriousness in all of it.

The thing that strikes me the most with the album, is its transparency. The trio uses their opportunities and meets limitations with creative orientation.
