Damp is a quartet who got together at the Norwegian State Academy of Music in Oslo, Norway. The music can among many things be described as freely modern, acoustic jazz.

The guitar player in the band, Asbjørn Lerheim, writes all the music. Some influences worth mentioning are musicians like Bill Frisell and Miles Davis, but also musicians like Ornette Coleman and Albert Ayler.

In August 2001, Damp represented Norway under the "European Jazz Contest" in Avignon, France, as one out of four bands from Europe. The festival writes (from the festival program):

“…The compositions are of great quality…” “Damp is presenting jazz with a special maturity and a lot of talent.”

The saxophone player Jørgen Munkeby won the great soloist's price in Avignon.
