Marius Nordal , “Notoriety”
Origin 82361

Earshot Magazine

Perhaps that's OK now and then, but not in the case of Marius Nordal. Working out of the jazz-rich Northwest U.S., he has carved himself a niche by working gigs, doing big band arrangements, teachi...

Earshot Jazz (Jason West)
Oscar Peterson used to advise his students not to be afraid of the piano. Somehow, I don’t think it was piano they feared. Listening to Marius Nordal’s "Notoriety" can be just as intimidating.
