Afgang 2023: Oscar Andreas Haug

«Memoirs»

Oscar Andreas Haug has created a unique and distinct expression for himself in the Scandinavian jazz scene, with his lyrical tone and technical flexibility. Haugs exploration into the sonic limits of the trumpet has made him an active musician playing and recording in Scandinavia and Europe with bands such as Bliss Quintet, Amalie Dahls Dafnie and Little North.

In constant search of new sounds and musical meetings, he has formed his trio «Memoirs» with vocalist Sanyu Nsubuga and guitarist Torstein Slåen. The trio explores Haugs compositions with an approach that can be best described as daring, authentic and impulsive with Haug and Slåen also appearing as vocalists. Giving freedom to his musical companions, the trio moves as one entity making use of musical aspects such as microtonality, lyrical melodies, and live sampling.
