DESCRIPTION:
Gruvar is a Norwegian band lead by Ellen Brekken and Lars Jakob Rudjord, combining influences from jazz and Norwegian folk music. The songs are inspired by the landscapes in the southern and eastern parts of Norway - where wide fjords, picturesque costal landscape, deep woods and snowy mountains are sources of inspiration.

This is Gruvar's first week together, seen through Lars Jakob's camera lens.
Music: "Bekk" (Lars Jakob Rudjord) - live from the concert at Tynset Kulturhus.
The project is initiated by Østnorsk Jazzsenter: www.ostnorskjazzsenter.no
