Jupiter featuring Jonas Kullhamar - "Live at Glenn Miller Café" in stores now

Håvard Stubø - guitar

Steinar Nickelsen -organ

Magnus Forsberg - drums

All three musicians share a common background in modern jazz, while still being open to other forms of music, and together with a mutual understanding of what music is and should be, this results in a unique sound, which has been highly acclaimed by Scandinavian critics.

The combination of Nickelsen's hypnotic, ambient-like organ, Forsberg's explosive yet subtle drumming, and Stubø's singing guitar creates a dynamical soundscape with references to both post-rock and electronica as well as jazz. Most of the band's tunes are written by guitarist Håvard Stubø, but the Jupiter songbook also features originals by the other members, as well as the occasional cover.
