Harald Bergersen - Baritone (2022) [Official Digital Download]

Harald Bergersen is one of today’s jazz musicians with the lengthiest high-level activity. Born in 1937, a professional musician since he was 18 years old, he started with clarinet as his main instrument, but also played bass clarinet, flute and alto/baritone/soprano saxophones. A ‘gentle’ musician inspired by Stan Getz, imagine his great surprise when one December night in 1959, playing at a restaurant in Oslo – none other than Getz himself arrived for a listen! Harald played for fun with Kjell Karlsen’s well-known big band (1959–60), but as a professional musician played with Oslo Blåsekvintett/Blåsesolister (1963–73), Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra (1966–68) and the Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra (1970–77).
