Magic Pocket


Magic Pocket is a Norwegian jazz band initiated by students on the Jazz program at Trondheim Musikkonsevatorium.

Career

Magic Pocket is a Brass Band in miniature, performing music in the open area between jazz, rock, world and contemporary music. The quartet was included in the launch contest «JazzIntro» 2004, and contributed on the festivals Nattjazz, Dølajazz and Moldejazz. Magic Pocket was awarded «JazZtipendiat» in 2009/2010. This scholarship, which is awarded by «Midtnorsk Jazzsenter», Moldejazz and Sparebank 1, amounts Norwegian kroner and gives the recipient the opportunity to write a piece commissioned to Trondheim Jazz Orchestra performed at Moldejazz the year after. The album The Katabatic Wind, where they are reinforced by the guest keyboardist Morten Qvenild, is the quartet's first and so far only release beside the recording of the commissioned work Kinetic Music.
