Palle & Sørnes is a new acquaintance for many of us, but it is simply a duo of two excellent artists with long experience separately who have found it too good to collaborate.
Paul Wagnberg, also known as “Palle Groove”, moved from Sweden to Norway in 1985. In addition to his own projects, he has played with a number of artists, but is probably best known as organist, bassist, singer and composer in the soul jazz group The Real Thing. Palle is backing Finnmarkingen’s Jan Arild Sørnes as a member of The Electric Band during Dark Season Blues this year, but in duo format, Palle plays “golden nuggets” from Sweden’s very best singer-songwriters in what he describes as “a bluesy-jazzy soulful sound”. In addition, he offers a number of his own songs from a solo album he is working on. Palle plays piano, Hammond B3 and guitar, while Sørnes provides the vocals.
