Petter Wettre - The Last Album (2021)

Petter Wettre has found out that albums and record sales have been dumped on the scrap heap of history, there is no economy and creative sustainability in this anymore. But he has one hole to fill in his catalog, the ballad album! The title will be The Last Album and it has been under planning for a while, but Korona, quarantine and Brexit have put sticks in the wheels for Petter. Now everything is ready and the recording of The Last Album takes place in the new year. Since Petter has been a faithful musician for Urijazz, we must of course arrange the release concert, first Urijazz and then the National Jazz Stage in Oslo.

The band that plays on The Last Album are people Petter has done a lot to get together: the Swedish master bassist Viktor Nyborg, Francesco Ciniglio on drums and the French pianist Fred Nardin. Petter has spent much of the last year in Paris seeking new inspiration and new musicians, therefore a French pianist. Korona and lockdown made that stay challenging! Now Petter is finally on his way with The Last Album in his luggage and Urijazz is proud to be the first to release a concert.
