John Pål Inderberg

His playing synthethises many different styles, not least when in partnership with Norwegian and American jazz musicians - players as contrasting as Gil Evans and Lee Konitz.

[1] As an earlier member of the new cool quartet, Inderberg gave new popularity to the collective art of improvisation in the 1950s.

He has toured and recorded with Lee Konitz[2] and Warne Marsh (saxophone), Chet Baker (trumpet), Bob Brookmeyer (trombone),[2] as well as Siri Gellein and Henning Sommerro.

He was previously member of Gil Evans' Scandinavian ensemble and has put his mark on several recordings with poet Jan Erik Vold.

Besides his performing career, he holds the post Teacher of Improvisation and joint head of the jazz department at the Trondheim Musikkonservatorium, NTNU.
