Knut Vaernes - A Night in Cassis

Knut Vaernes - acoustic guitar

The Vertavo String Quartet:
Oyvor Volle - violin
Berit Cardas - violin
Henninge Landaas - viola
Bjorg Vaernes - cello

Guitarist Knut Vaernes presents his latest endeavor. Backed by the world famous Vertavo String Quartet, he interprets compositions written between 1992 and 2000. All of which having been released on Knut´s earlier albums in typically jazz/fusion settings.

The idea was simple: to try and view the tunes from a totally different angle by putting the guitar together with a string quartet. The interplay is very fitting and offers passionate passages and beautiful moods in a very innovative way.
