In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember listening to Louis Armstrong as a kid and was struck by the light in his music. Then I discovered John Coltrane and Albert Ayler, music big enough to embrace me. Early baroque music was also something I listened to as a kid. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Albert Ayler, The Albert Ayler Story Hans W. Brimi, W. Musikk av Hans W. Brimi Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Albert Ayler truly made me aware of the connection between spirituality and music. Lauryn Hill's album has everything: groove, spirituality and her voice. Hans W. Brimi is a renown fiddler in Gudbrands-tradition, a great musician and composer.
