The Real Thing • Living It Up

 

The band was formed when Sigurd Køhn and Palle (Paul) Wagnberg formed the forerunner, The B3 Blues Band with Vidar Busk and Hamlet Pedersen. They changed the name when Staffan William-Olsson and Fredrik Carl Stormer joined the band. Størmer was replaced by Torstein Ellingsen in 1995, and Ellingsen again by Børre Dalhaug in 1998. Due to the sudden death of the band's saxophonist Sigurd Køhn in the tsunami in Thailand in December 2004, The Real Thing was hibernating until a reunion in 2010. In the 2010s, Hermund Nygård replaced Dalhaug on the drums, with Dave Edge playing the saxophone.

Before their hiatus, the quartet released eight albums, debuting in 1992 with the album The Real Thing and continuing with both live and studio recordings. They mostly play original music, combining influences from American Blue Note jazz (represented by people such as Jimmy Smith, George Benson and Wes Montgomery) and elements from modern popular music. The result is a mixture of genres including swing, blues, soul, Latin, funk and rock.

In 2010, the band released the album Back on Track. In December 2017, they joined Angelina Jordan on her Christmas tour of Norway, along with singer Sigrid Brennhaug. In 2018, they released the album Oh No! Not… The Real Thing …Again!.

La banda se formó cuando Sigurd Køhn y Palle (Paul) Wagnberg formaron la precursora, The B3 Blues Band, con Vidar Busk y Hamlet Pedersen. Cambiaron el nombre cuando Staffan William-Olsson y Fredrik Carl Stormer se unieron a la banda. Størmer fue sustituido por Torstein Ellingsen en 1995, y Ellingsen de nuevo por Børre Dalhaug en 1998. Debido a la repentina muerte del saxofonista de la banda Sigurd Køhn en el tsunami de Tailandia en diciembre de 2004, The Real Thing estuvo hibernando hasta una reunión en 2010. En 2010, Hermund Nygård sustituyó a Dalhaug en la batería, y Dave Edge tocó el saxofón.

Antes de su parón, el cuarteto publicó ocho álbumes, debutando en 1992 con el álbum The Real Thing y continuando con grabaciones tanto en directo como en estudio. En su mayoría tocan música original, combinando influencias del jazz Blue Note americano (representado por gente como Jimmy Smith, George Benson y Wes Montgomery) y elementos de la música popular moderna. El resultado es una mezcla de géneros que incluye swing, blues, soul, latin, funk y rock.
