The band received the price 2001 for their debut album "Urban Connection". The line up is Steinar Raknes - bass, Frode Nymo - sax, Håkon Mjåset Johansen - drums.
New project with Bill Payne, working on new tunes by Bill and Robert Hunter (Greatful Dead) and my new tunes. Just had a great week in Montana, rehearsing with Bill at his house in Montana.
Albumet er en herlig påminnelse om både hvor bra Urban Connection var i 2005 og om hvor mye bedre bandet er nå, og med en liten turné rett rundt hjørnet får trioen snart sjansen til å dokumentere det for enda flere.
