Tor Einar Bekken (Dr Bekken) is one of Norway's foremost representatives of traditional blues/jazz piano and his new album, 'Upright Piano' is an organic recording from Bar Moskus in Trondheim, with the audience present.
The recording shows Bekken's breadth as a performer and composer, and clearly refers to both his inspirational encounter with New Orleans, and a sidelight to traditional Norwegian tones from Finnskogen.
