Spell

Tor Einar Bekken and Richard Gjems have been touring for ten years. The idea that pianist and vocalist Tor Einar Bekken (Dr Bekken) illuminates a band, and that harmonica wizard Richard Gjems is a vocalist and guitarist, is not quite common. It goes without saying that music like this works especially well live. If one is conducting blues music (with some jazz influences), live or on record, one might as well do it with the highest form of seriousness, insight and expertise. This time the duo is expanded with a guitarist who qualifies with his lexical capacity as well as his tasteful playing, Jan Christian Gjems. The experience is topped with a soul wrenching guest performance by Noora Noor, on the track 'Jealous Kind'.
