Get Your Goat

Øvyind Mathisen - trumpet and band leader
Alexander Dellerhagen - tenor sax and bass clarinet
Petter Dalane - piano
Alf Høines - bass

Get Your Goat delves into an expressive and creative world without a safety net, with maximum swing, even without a percussion section in the background. The music is originally composed for this drumless setup, providing the band with ample creative space to work within. Since 2018, the band has performed around 30 concerts in Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

The band released their debut album on AMP on Friday, June 10, 2022, which received favorable reviews. Torkjell Hovland (Jazznytt) wrote the following:

"Get Your Goat fearlessly intertwines clichés, traditions, and free associations with each other - all delivered with equal conviction. This is what makes this quartet the freshest thing in Norwegian jazz in years."
