Anja Lauvdal & Joakim Heibo

Gorgeous, frazzled jazz flex from Norway’s rising piano star Anja Lauvdal and skilled sticksman Joakim Heibø in swingeing style on the Actions for Jazz series.

Norwegian freeform pianist Anja Lauvdal - who compiled the genius "Frijazz mot rasisme" set - mints a new series of albums with All My Clothes, a collaboration with reclusive drummer Joakim Heibø.

Laudval comes full circle on this release - the virtuoso pianist grew up listening to Smalltown Supersound, developing an obsession at the age of 12 when she was living in the small town of Flekkefjord in the south of Norway. Since then, she's become an established force on the Norwegian scene, running the All Ears festival and collaborating with Jenny Hval, Hamid Drake and William Parker, among others.

All My Clothes is the Lauvdal's first release under her own name, and serves as a springboard for her characteristic playing, backed up at all times by Heibø's seismic percussion.
