The trio Min Bul came out of a progressive environment of jazz and experimental music in the late sixties surrounded by innovators such as Jan Garbarek, Karin Krog and Arne Norheim. The trio included some of the most important figures in the development of modern music in Norway in the late sixties. Terje Rypdal was by now known from the groundbreaking Jan Garbarek quartet with bassist Arild Andersen and drummer Jon Christensen. All the four of them are today in the heavyweight league of European jazz. Drummer Espen Ruud and bassist Bjornar Andersen came from the infamous free jazz group Sveirt Finnerud Trio which performed regularly at Heine Onstad art centre outside of Oslo. Today Terje Rypdal is recording regularly for the German ECM label both as composer, bandleader and guitarist.
