Post Description

Helge Lien, Norwegian jazz pianist and composer, is an internationally acclaimed musician who explores the borders 
between different musical genres, but whose sound as a jazz pianist is always a distinctive feature.

Lien holds a master degree in music from the Norwegian Academy of Music, 
where Russian pianist Misha Alperin was his mentor and teacher of improvisation.

In addition to his activities as composer and performer, 
Lien is currently employed as an associate professor in jazz at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo.

Helge Lien, has developed his very own unmistakable style of trio playing. With instinctive sureness, 
he and his musicians have developed their own take on chamber jazz that stands out through its harmonically complex tone colors. 
Building on Bill Evans’ lyrical power and the exhilaratingly melancholic playing of Esbjörn Svensson, Lien, 
in constant dialogue with Frode Berg (bass) & Per Oddvar Johansen (drums), creates distinct moods in recorded and live settings alike.

Originally influenced by Bill Evans' lyric-dynamic style of playing, he also shows affinity with Keith Jarrett’s narrative inventiveness 
and the subtle strophic expression of Brad Mehldau. Although contemporary and constantly moving forward, 
Lien's heritage from growing up in an environment of untouched nature and folk music is noticeably ingrained in his sound. 
Today Lien is an equally innovative and technically brilliant player. His resourcefulness and briskly responsive playing 
is extremely beneficial to him and his fellow musicians. 
Lien proves himself as an excellent "composer of the moment" in all of his work - regardless of genre. (http://www.helgelien.com/bio/)
