Norway is home to some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world. The ECM Record Label, founded in 1972 by German cellist Manfred Eicher, is a popular internationally known jazz label that has won many awards. Drummer Jon Christensen, double bass player Arild Anderson, guitar Wizard Terje Rypdal, and Norway’s National Treasure saxophonist Jan Garbarek. These musicians were the reason I first traveled to Norway.

Bergen is still exceptional – so wonderful with her surroundings.
Concerning music – one really should mention Wardruna, Einar Selvik and his musicians. Their music is heard all over the world and rich of norwegian history and culture.
Kind regards and thanks for all your efforts to inform us in your newsletter!
Sandra

Kongsberg (population about 25000) is just over an hour from Oslo by car or train (hourly much of the day), an hour from the coast, and has long been one of Norway’s technological power houses. There are lots of high tech jobs available in the Kongsberg Group (with civilian and military subsidiaries both of whose technology is well known world-wide), Technip FMC, GKN Aerospace and more. Outside work, the town has its own alpine ski centre (a breeding ground for Norwegian medals!), many kilometres of cross country tracks, masses of access to hills, mountains and lakes – and a long history since the silver mines were founded here in 1624. Naturally enough, there are plenty of non-Norwegians living here. Add us to your list, David!
