From the Austinist:
One of Austin’s newest residents, and one of the most unassuming musicians you’ll ever meet, is free jazz bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (say ING-uh-brite Hoak-er FLAH-ten), an expatriate from Norway and one of the crucial figures on the European jazz scene. Born in 1971, he’s long been associated with one of free jazz’s most well-loved touring acts, The Thing, a group he co-leads with Swedish reedman Mats Gustafsson and fellow Norwegian, drummer Paal Nilssen-Love. On Friday, March 12, he’ll join Chicago reedman Ken Vandermark and Norwegian pianist Håvard Wiik for a performance as part of Free Fall, a chamber-improvisation group, at Austin’s AAMP. If you don’t catch this performance, fear not: Flaten will be playing his new home base with some of Austin’s finest in the near future.
