AHAHA is a new collaboration between nestor and saxophone colossus Atle Nymo og three younger musicians; pianist Petter Dalane, bassist Alf Høines and drummer Martin Mellem. With playfullness, eagerness and big ears they bring a fresh and swinging breath to the Norwegian jazz scene with music that feels old school and contemporary at the same time.

During the last 20 years, Atle Nemo, has become one of the most respected musicians in the Norwegian jazz scene, playing actively both in his own bands and in collaboration with international giants such as Chick Corea and Pat Methany. Dalane, Høines and Mellem has played together in various circumstances since 2017 and are active in bands like Peders Hode and Master Oogway.

AHAHA invites the audience to an exiting musical journey across different periods and styles, with a repertoir including both original tunes and timeless classics by Thelonious Monk, Keith Jarrett and Lou Donaldson.
