In his prolific career, the Norwegian drummer Paal Nilssen-Love has formed part of various large groups in which he has imprinted his customary unconventionality. After his accumulated experience with the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet, the Territory Band (of Ken Vandermark) and the Circulasione Totale Orchestra (led by Frode Gjsertad), in 2013, Nilssen-Love created his own Large Unit, composed of some of the most promising young talents in scandinavian Jazz. Music with an acute sense of freedom, which always follows a path of improvisation.
