JAHN TEIGEN
Single: Celebration / Ett Menneske (Sonet 1984)
Jahn had becoma a father, and I was in the touring band. This was the first time in the studio with the pros. Celebration came out quite groovy …. And with a lot of horns....

CLAUDIA, BIG HAND & CASINO
LP: Oh Yeah (BH/Sonet 1985)

One of the first of many album-recordings in Bel Studios in Skippergata, with Ingar Helgesen behind the board. Claudia & me wrote two songs that ended up on Oh Yeah, the bluegrasser "Thinking Back To My Younger Days"  was my first session with drummer Per Hillestad. This song also became a really good reason to meet banjopickin`  fella Terje Kinn for the first time, and probably for the rest of my life as one of the fewest closest pals in the music arena from this very moment ....

My bassplaying is on one song, Husmannspolka, performed by Mia Gundersen & Frode Froddi Rønli.

ANDREW MATHESON:
CD: Night Of The Bastard Moon (MCA 1994)
Great session with rockers Petter Baarli, Svein Dag Hauge, Per Madsen, Casino Steel and Andrew with great songs and lyrics and his amazing spacy guitarpal E.S.Brady. I love this record for the beautiful ballad “Walk A Mile In My Blues", but I`m forever bound to hate this record cause the musicians never got paid to do it. Nominated for Canadian Grammy.

RickDANKO,JonasFJELD,EricANDERSEN:
CD: Ridin`On The Blinds (Grappa Records 1994)

I shook the legendary Rick Danko`s hand in the studio. He showed up after we`d recorded most of it ... On this one I play mandolin for the first time on a record, Eric heard my plonkin` in the sofa when we listened back on the track and suddenly pointed his finger at me and said: "That`s what we need on this track!", in the beatiful version of Richard Thompson`s "Dimming Of The Day", led by great vocal wo man hood by Kirsten Bråten Berg and Eric Andersen.

ANNE GRETE PREUSS:
CD: Millimeter (Warner Music N. 1994)

Award winning record, produced by Knut Bøhn. The bass performance on "Månens Elev" will forever stand as one of my proudest moments.

OTTAR "BIG HAND" JOHANSEN

CD: Passion & Trust ( New Cut Records 1994)

RENÈ ANDERSEN:
Single: You Are The One / I Think I Must Be Dreaming (EMI 1995)
CD: Break Of Dawn (EMI 1995)

Dette er en feit plate. Debut-solo-cd til Fredrikstad-gutten Odd Rene Andersen. Egentlig var det ”min trio” i studio, Rune Arnesen & Tor Inge, forsterket med Geir Sundstøl og en x-cepsjonell sterk  vokalist.  Sverre Henriksen dro i spakene og styrte det hele. i et åpent og fruktig samarbeid med musikergjengen ble disse låtene formet, som i utgangspunktet var en haug låt-utkast utarbeidet av Odd Rene og HP Gundersen. I ettertid kom Vidar Busk inn og dro noen soli, Eivind Aarset krydret  med enda mer gitar og Per Kolstad slo litt tangenter. En kreativ, leken og minnerik  session. Resultatet oser av en ivrig gjeng  som er ute i godt ærend.  ”Sweet Clarisse”, ”Wake up with you”, ”I Think I Must Be Dreaming”, ”Out In The Country”.  Det ble en liten turnè også, en veldig liten en.  

"KOM UT OG LEK",
CD: Kom Ut Og Lek (LO/Polygram 1995)
Different Norwegian Top Artists gathered together to focus on young children being put to do hard work, especially in Asia. A great team in Ambience studio, Bugge Wesseltoft, Anders Engen, Me. ... Nils Halleland and all the different artists:
MORTEN HARKET (...woops, didn`t play with him ....) , LYNNI TREEKREM, STEINAR ALBRIGTSEN, JØRN HOEL, LIZ-TOVE VESPESTAD, TINE VALAND, KRISTIN BERGLUND etc. It was really a LEK.

Single (promo) : We Have Grown / Down To The Silver/
Place In Your Heart ( Norsk Plateprod./BMG 1996)
CD: Songs From The Pocket

TINE VALAND:
CD:She's Just Leavin' (Sony Music 1996)
My first time in Austin. Recorded at the Cedar Creek Studios with Andrew Hardin producing. Drummer Anders Engen and me laid down some untraditional country-grooves, Nils Halleland played guitar, and we had a lot of fun, hiding behind the curtains in the studio when Guy Clark came and did his duet-vocals on the Tom Russel song………

LARS JONES:
CD: Raindrops to the Desert (Sony Music 1996)

HANAUMI:
(Sony 1996)

SONDRE BRATLAND
CD: Atterklang (KKV 1996)

CARSTEN LOLY:
CD: Dusk (Chicken Farm 1998)
I play on one song on this album, and it has that Fender VI sound picked in a guitaristic way, along with Audun Erliens Balalaika bass, "Now she`s coming home". Sounds cool. The whole album is Carstens artistic way of approaching words and music. Paolo, Knut, Reidar Skår, Audun, Vidar Johansen .... Great one.

TORE ANDERSEN:
(New Cut Music 1998)
I accepted the offer of beeing a co-producer on this cd, quite a lot of hours with preparing and recording in Waterfall Studios with Big Hand on the side. The album came out good. the only thing I feel sorry for in the afterglow is that I didn`t kick myself out of the project when the artist & theBigHand rejected my bass-slide on Silverado that I had spent hours to get right and to my ears was great …. It was listened to once on a shitty cassetteplayer in Big Hands hotelroom and Tore thought it was “too low”…. It was never to be heard after that…. I destroyed all the recordings of that slide…. Probably the only good thing I have erased on purpose.  Tore is a great singer and songwriter. He deserves to be rich…..

HANNE KROGH:
Vestavind (CNR Music) (1999)

Produced by extremely talented musician in all ways, Kyrre Fritzner.

ØYSTEIN SUNDE:
Nå er begeret nådd (Spinner Rec) (1999)

TOM RUSSELL:
The Man From God Knows Where (Kirkelig Kulturverksted 1999)
I`m very proud to be on this record. Tom`s great sad and beautiful songs about different fates in the promised land of freedom. Tells how the American dream really turned out for some of the immigrants. Stories based upon Tom`s own ancestors from Irland and Norway. It`s recorded in beautiful Rosendal in the West of Norway with great players; Knut Reiersrud, Anders Engen, Annbjørg Lien, Andrew Hardin, and singers; Iris DeMent, Dolores Keane, Sondre Bratland, Kari Bremnes, under Toms and Erik Hillestads guidance. In New York Tom met up with the legend Dave Van Ronk who sang The Outcast.

A live-version of the project came to life at the Voss Jazz festival, must have been the same year, I guess….

PERLEPORTEN (emi 2000)
A compilation of songs from the traditional Norwegian Salvation Army performed by Norwegian top artists. My participation was with folks like Morten Harket/Anne Marie Almedal, Bjørn Eidsvåg, Steinar Albrigtsen, Magnus Grønneberg og Sondre Bratland. First time in a studio-session with producer Jørn Christensen. Anders Engen was an important element being what he is with humour & creative ideas beside playing drums, piano, or/and organ. From my hand I`m most proud of the slide (played on the Fender VI) on Steinar Albrigtsens song (even though it says “bass” on the liner notes) and the basstard-work on Sondre Bratlands ending song along with Anders` delicate piano.

ROY LUFT
Du bli`kke rost før du er borte vekk, sanger av Roy Willy Olsen (Halden kulturkontor/Halden kommune 2000)
Cool ... recorded in Geir Sundstøls flat (Studio intim) at the Gruner Løkka, "the Alf Prøysen of Halden" and his soulful songs about life on the bad side, unfortunately he`s been dead for some time, but Geir & his pals gave this buried man a sweet and humourous afterglow.

LARS LILLO STENBERG
CD: Oslo (sonet/Universal 2000)

Recorded in Bugges Room with a great band. Anders Engen (drums), Bugge Wesseltoft (keys & prod), Jørn Christensen (guitar) .... and Lars of course as the focused entertainer he is.

CD: Blue (United Music 2000)

Made by Kyrre Fritzner.

KATIA CARDENAL
Canta a Silvio Rodriguez (KKV 2001)

Rainbow studios, Erik Hillestad, Knut Reiersrud, Rune Arnesen ... Jan Erik Kongshaug

A-HA
CD: Minor Earth Major Sky. (wea 2000)
My bass is on one track called “You`ll Never Get Over Me”, recorded in Påls house up the road. He`s been calling every now and then in bassneed, and wouldn` know wether it was for a-ha or Savoy. My personal opinion is that I don`t think Minor Earth Major Sky is a-ha`s best album. But it`s nice to see the cats back even though they didn`t ask me to come and play on tour……

A-HA

CD: Lifelines (wea 2002)
I play the bass on the Waaktaar tracks A little Bit (9) and Less Than Pure (10).

CD: ANALOGUE ( Universal 2006)
I made it to this album too, yeah, my bass is on the Waaktaar song Keeper Of The Flame

SAVOY

CD:Savoy (Universal 2004)

MARIANNE ANTONSEN :
Soulfull Christmas Songs (KKV 2000)

Recorded in beautiful Samsø in Denmark, Poul Krebs` studio. He even sang duet on White Christmas. Good friends from Halden/Fredrikstad, Tor Inge Rishaug, Tor Hauge, Erlend Gjerde, Jon Terje Rovedal and her maestro Marianne. This contains my song "Christmas in Texas". Glad Marianne liked it.

TIGERKORET
1000-års Tigrene (Ullern Bydel 2000)
Small kids from 5 kindergardens around my neighbourhood wanted to make a record to celebrate Oslo 1000 yrs, and raise some money for a kindergarden in Calcutta as well. My wife Synnøve made this happen. I recorded the kids and made the backing tracks. But I needed someone who could sing properly above the screamsinging youngsters. My son Gustav, age 6, with a little help from his friend Amanda, did the main vocals, and the 6 song CD contains classical tunes (Barn Av Regnbuen, Morgendagens søsken) , a few from Sabeltann and one original. This is an album I`m proud of and still listen to from time to time. Where will you go my blue eyed son…..?

ØYSTEIN SUNDE
Sånn Er`e bare (Spinner Rec.) (2005)
Plutselig ramler en cd ned I postkassa, ikke mange artister er så omtenksomme…. Basser på en sang, ”Møte seg sjøl i døra” er en overlevning fra Sundes forrige album, en god drivende rockelåt.

JUPEDALEN
På Valdres mål (ND 2005)
Ei morosam gruppegjeng fra Valdres, har gitt ut 4 cd`er før. Godeste låtskriver (og bassist ) Kristen Stavdal følte seg ikke helt stødig på bassen med det røde lyset i studio slått på, så de ville ha litt bassistanse med innspillingen av ny cd. Jeg endte opp med ikke bare å basse men også mixe plata i MLP studio på Gjøvik med Nils Harald Mælum, ei hyggelig og lærerik tid. Plata ble sabla fin med gode underfundige tekster fra en mann som tilbringer mye tid i vår frie natur.

JØRUN BØGEBERG
CD: Basstard (UpNorthDiscs 2006)
Ten years after Songs From The Pocket I finally finished Basstard. This is songs coming out of my own pockets too, mostly dressed up with the sonic sound of my Fender VI bass guitar. But I also play guitars, mandolin, percussion, harmonium, other basses and sing as well. And my musical pals are dropping by to leave their marks. I`m very happy to see the album out of my hands, hope it will get to yours. Release date: 4th of May 2006.

A really good album from Tove, recorded in Larsville Studio in Sør-Trøndelag. Political and emotional songs.

FRIDA ÅNNEVIK

Synlige Hjerteslag (Grappa 2010)

Frida did receive the Spelemannspris (Grammy) for this. I like this album very much. My bass was put on "first" with just the voice and a little clicktrack (and maybe a guide-guitar and/or a piano). Andreas Mjøs (Jaga Jazzist) produced it and it came out as a very special thing of it`s own, thanks to Fridas voice, words and songs.

Roughedged x-mas record from Henning.

THINKERBELL

2 (Nordic Records 2011)

This is a great project that happens too seldom. Their first album came in 1999, and I played live with them then. This "2" was recorded in 2010, and is the beautiful songs of Vibeke Saugestad and Jørn Christensen.  Relax and enjoy. A few concerts in 2011 was smooth and good nutrition for the soul.

VÅRIN STRAND

So Far (My Town Recording 2011)

  Vårin was 14 yrs of age when this was recorded. She writes kind of sad songs, and sings them in a very personal way. This cd contains two songs, made for her "konfirmasjon".
