Molde International Jazz festival

As I've told you earlier, I play the cornet in a pretty big band (about 80 members) called "Jazzlogen". That band starts its practicing in February, and has 3 gatherings where we learn new songs, without notes, and practice them thoroughly until a week in the middle of July. This year, the jazz festival is from July 16th to July 22nd.

The last week before the Jazz festival, is pretty hectic for the members in Jazzlogen, since we have so many notes to take, messages to pay attention to and songs to know. But after all, being in such a band is the most fun a music lover could do, because when the festival starts, it always feels so good to walk in the streets, play the music and see all the people watching you. I'm looking forward so badly, I can hardly wait until tomorrow, when Jazzlogen starts playing outside Alexandra Hotel in Molde.

This video is from last year's parade, I was filmed for a brief second, and it's me (the tallest one) on the starting picture. 

I know I won't be able to join Jazzlogen the year I'm in the USA, but hey! I can always come back! So when I'm back in Norway, I'll join Jazzlogen and start practicing for the very next summer again.

But now I have to go, so I'll keep you updated some later time again, and thank you for reading my blog!
