Info for Red Nose Hymn

Røed Quartet is a modern jazz ensemble playing original tunes rooted in the golden era of the 1960s. Led by Norwegian saxophonist Aksel Røed the band features Swedish drummer Cornelia Nilsson (Aaron Parks), the lyrical Lyder Røed (FIEH, Slow is the New Fast) on trumpet and flugelhorn, and steadfast Ola Høyer (Cortex, Moon Relay) on the double bass. The group delivers energetic and deeply musical interplay. The band was originally put together due to a commissioned work for the Tedansfestival in 2024, and later recorded this album, their debut.
