Violinist Bjarke Falgren leads Hot ‘n’ Spicy, an eminent modern version of the beloved string trio. Along with Norway’s most swinging backing group, they present latin-inflected jazz with a tasteful hint of pop, which is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

“Hot N Spicy is an eminent modern string trio. The two Norwegians Lars Tormod Jenset (bass) and Svein Erik Martinsen (guitar/vocals) are in perfect rhythmical balance with the Dane Bjarke Falgren (violin and percussion-stunts), who is in fact the hardest swinging jazz-fiddler I’ve heard since “Stuff” Smith.”
