Jono El Grande is an autodidactic composer and guitarist and The Luxury Band is the band who plays his compositions.
Note that playing something 'liva' is slighly more authentic than just playing it 'live'. Liva is the new presence.
Jono El Grande is the stage name of Jon Andreas Håtun (July 29, 1973 - ).
Jono El Grande is an autodidactic Norwegian composer, band leader, guitarist and conductor. He cites as his major sources of influence Captain Beefheart, '60s Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Igor Stravinsky and Art Rock. Jono El Grande claims that his extreme mixture of genres and timbres is a result of his musical vision: moving away from the traditional concept of 'music as a result of social processes'.
Although Jono El Grande is enjoying modest growth on the European avant-garde scene, he is most well known in his own country for his eccentric and amusing performance art/dada-inspired live shows. In 2000 he formed The Jono El Grande Orchestra, renamed Jono El Grande & The Luxury Band in 2005. From 1995 - 1998 he formed various band projects leading to the presence of Jono El Grande & The Luxury Band: Menü Tizz Aura (1995 - 96), The Gringo Quartet (1996), Grande Corpse (1996), Vidunderlige Vidda (The Wonderful Mountain Plateau or La Dolce Vidda) (1996 - 98). In the years 1990 - 1992, Jono El Grande assembled a series concept bands intended for one-night performances and recordings and/or rehearsings only: Mannes Fatales, The Terror Duo, Black Satan, The Pez Dispensers, Acetaded Beat, As Drosera in addition to a handful of school bands formed to mark end-of-term celebrations and similar occasions.
Jono El Grande has released three albums, “Utopian Dances” (Krusedull Prod. 1999), “Fevergreens” (Rune Grammofon, 2003) and “Neo Dada” (Rune Grammofon - 2009) in addition to contribute with compositions on other projects (both Rune Grammofons anniversary albums “Money Will Ruin Everything 1 & 2” and on “Wire Tapper 21”, the avant-garde music magazine The Wire’s 21st edition of their CD series). Jono El Grande served as festival composer for Happy Days 2007, presented by Ny Musikk, the Norwegian section of ISCM – International Society For Contemporary Music.
alt godt her.. driver på å spiller. DU må si ifra viss dere skal spille en gang. Så kommer jeg. Si ifra også viss du hører om en autpharpe til salgs. Fortsatt god sommer.
Hei Jono.. :-) At du klarer kombinasjonen å være så eksentrisk og samtidig holde deg såppas på matta at du får til å skrive noter er imponerende det også.
Selv så vet jeg knapt hva en note er .Da jeg var ca 10 år som aspirant i guttemusikken ødla jeg ett althorn med vilje for jeg ville heller være hjemme på fredagskvelden da Pappa kom hjem fra anleggsarbeid fra Jøssingfjord.. he he . :-)Vet bare at notene fanger på en måte.notelinjene er som garn..he :-).men praktisk for å formidle til andre utøvere selvfølgelig.Kanskje jeg sku ha gått på kurs..Ha det bra og lykke til med strykeriet.
Jono! Greatly appreciated your manifestation at Gamla last week, we're still talking abut it. And thanks for mentioning the Liverpool Scene. I am blown. Love n peace friend. Keep up them one finger pushups!
