With her trio consisting of flute, cello, and drums, jazz flutist Henriette Eilertsen pushes the boundaries of traditional conventions, creating a wonderfully meditative sound that transports the listener into a dreamlike state. Come experience this Norwegian rising star as she takes the stage at ALICE, accompanied by Joel Ring on cello and Øystein Aarnes Vik on drums.

Through the combination of flute, cello, and drums, Norwegian jazz flutist Henriette Eilertsen challenges the traditional ideas of what a jazz trio should be. However, the union of these three instruments, in their close and intense interplay, produces a wonderfully meditative tone that allows the listener to drift away. Joel Ring on cello, Øystein Aarnes Vik on drums, and Eilertsen herself on flute form a chamber trio with a keen sense of rhythmic music, rich in layers. Their bubbling synergy gives a respectful nod to jazz history, while pursuing a progressive agenda inspired by flutes from both near and far.

Henriette Eilertsen has quickly made a name for herself as a distinct voice on the Norwegian jazz scene. She explores and plays with the role of the jazz flute in the modern jazz and improv landscape and has left a strong mark through concerts and several acclaimed releases in recent years, including collaborations with names like OJKOS and Master Oogway. She made a particularly striking debut with her solo album “Poems for Flute” (2021), where acoustic recordings blend seamlessly in a bitcrush universe. We guarantee a delightful evening when Henriette Eilertsen and her trio perform at ALICE this November.
