Christian Wallumrød

Wallumrød is known for its tranquil jazz that resembles chamber music. He plays in mainly small line-ups, several of which were recorded by the renowned label ECM Records. Christian is the brother of Susanna Wallumrød, the singer and multi-instrumentalist behind Susanna & The Magic Orchestra. 'In Scandinavia, there is more experimentation with native folk, classical music and improvisation, but there is no band that does it more beautifully and thoughtfully than the Christian Wallumrød Ensemble' (de Volkskrant). 'Very quiet, but very strong' (The Guardian) Many by Christian Wallumrød Ensemble
