  • Bio

    Norway's most well dressed band is back! After taking a break in 2004, The Real Thing is reunited, with three old and one new member. The Real Thing started in 1992 and quickly became a dominant factor in Scandinavian jazz, with its hard-swinging, organ-based soul jazz. In twelve years the band played more than 1000 concerts and sold over 50.000 CDs. The music was inspired by American greats like Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, George Benson and Wes Montgomery. The result was an extrovert blend of swing, blues, soul, latin and funk. The band that "never leave the stage in dry smokings" built up a solid fan base. Organist Paul Wagnberg, guitarist Staffan William-Olsson, drummer Torstein Ellingsen (member 1995-98) and saxophonist Dave Edge (originally from England), are looking forward to lift 200 kg Hammond organ, and play both old and new repertoire!
