Nakama (band)
Nakama (initiated 2015 in Oslo, Norway) is a Norwegian five-piece jazz ensemble led by the Norwegian bassist Christian Meaas Svendsen.
Biography
Nakama is Japanese meaning "comrade", or a community of people where no one is above the other. The group was founded as a quartet in 2015 but expanded to quintet late 2016. Their music is influenced by European jazz, early American contemporary music, Japanese traditional music, and the harmonies of the romantic classical era. Furthermore, the music intimately explores the relation between content and non-content, and the possibilities of working with flexible forms on a fixed musical material.[1]
