John-Kåre Hansen
Finnmark Fantasia
Album out December 2022
Only two listens to this album were enough to make me fall in love with this fantastic guitarist-composer.
(...) his ensemble with its atypical composition transports us to a wonderful musical trip.
(...) a crystalline, chiseled, jazz guitar, which links melodies with finesse and lightness.
(...) all these feelings he transmits to us through a truly remarkable album.
Quickly discover this refined, sensitive album of immense beauty. Timeless.
