Knut Værnes has been a featured Norwegian guitarist and bandleader since the early 80´s, having performed, toured, recorded and played with who´s who on the Norwegian and International music scene. After working as an Ass. Professor at the Nordic Inst. For Stage and Studio in Oslo, and in addition to running the jazz-label, Curling Legs for many years, Knut decided in 2011 to return to active playing and composing. So he composed lots of new music and picked a few of these compositions for his new album.The music: groovy, accessible and melodically appealing. Reminiscent of Knut´s early inspirations: Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin, Jimmy Page, Weather Report etc. Which explains the title of the album
