Her quartet features Steinar Raknes, perhaps Norway´s premier bass player of his generation. Steinar has toured all over the world, and his daring and solid playing has laid the foundation for Urban Connection, Chick Corea, Ola Kvernberg, the Core and Shagma, getting rave reviews everywhere he travels. Vigleik Storås on piano is a new collaborator for Kirsti, and he brings to the table many years of experience from the top shelf of the European jazz scene. Previous sparring partners for Vigleik include Chet Baker, Warne Marsh, Karin Krogh, Jon Christensen and Terje Rypdal. Vigleik´s own trio has won the Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannsprisen) for jazz twice. The only Swede in Kirsti´s band is Erik Nylander on drums, who just completed his four-year training at NTNU´s much-lauded jazz department. Erik also plays with Ola Kvernberg and Kobert when he´s not performing with Kirsti.

Kirsti Huke Lyrics
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
