By the first 50s he was energetic in jazz organizations in Norway and past due within the 10 years played on cruise lines at risk plying between Norway and NY. In NY he could advance his knowing of jazz by hearing top-flight music artists at first hands. However, by 1962, with jazz gigs few in number, he proceeded to go into industry, operating as finance supervisor for a English organization’s Norwegian workplace. He continued to try out jazz whenever you can, accompanying visiting English and American music artists. He also frequently followed his wife, vocalist Laila Dalseth, leading a normal quintet.

He takes on with a complete, breathy sound, phrasing elegantly along with understanding.
