Karl Seglem

Karl Seglem ( born July 8, 1961 in Årdalstangen ) is a Norwegian saxophonist and goat horn player of the World Jazz.

Life and work

Seglem to 1980 was constructed in 1978 at the Voss Folkehøgskule. From 1980 to 1992 he worked in Bergen with Arvid Genius Jan Grieg, Kenneth Sivertsen and Knut Kristiansen. Since 1988 he has worked as a soloist and with his own groups from 27 music albums released (as of 2010).

The special characteristic of his music is the blending of jazz, ambient and folk elements. In addition to classic jazz instruments, we repeatedly see old Norwegian folk music instruments such as the Hardanger fiddle. He has appeared on Norwegian jazz and folk festivals and in the UK, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Germany, North America and Japan.

In 1998 he received the Edvard Prize for his work Tya.

Karl Seglem lives in Oslo, where he was also the record label he founded NORCD leads since 1991.
