Waldemar 4
Waldemar 4 is a striking unit with some of Norway’s most sought after improvising musicians. Fiske put this quartet together for his commissioned work for Molde International Jazz Festival in 2014.
In the tradition of jazz and free jazz the collective playfulness is always present and the band delivers soloists at the highest level. The melodic tunes by Fiske and the inventive interplay and risk taking improvisation gives the quartet its unique sound. Their latest album The Buoy and the Sea is their second release, following the critically acclaimed self-titled Waldemar 4 in 2015.
