*2022 stock* Plastic Strip Press presents the complete released works of the Norwegian avant-garde jazz pioneers Svein Finnerud Trio. After the critically acclaimed CD Preachers, containing the unreleased works of the trio, the label started the project to document the trios output throughout 31 years on different obscure labels and limited edition prints that is impossible to buy.

Svein Finnerud Trio have achieved a cult following amongst musicians in Norway and are regarded as one of the most controversial and important avant-garde groups from Scandinavia ever to come out. Even when the trio was doing different things such as free-jazz, musical theatre, jazz & poetry, working with graphic notation or collaborated with electronic composers - their music always had that unique Finnerud sound that develop through a 50 year long friendship between the bass player Bjørnar Andresen and pianist Svein Finnerud.

The boxset shows the trio from the self titled Paul Bley-inspired debut LP released by Norsk Jazzforum in 1968 to the legendary Plastic Sun LP from 1970, when the group almost reached popstar status in Norway and was signed to record mogul Arne Bendiksen label. We get to hear for the first time on CD the fusion inspired jazz & poetry record Mulitmal which they made together with visual artist and poet Trond Botnen and legendary saxophone player Carl Magnus Neumann in 1971, to the more sombre and dark record Thoughts recorded in 1973 but released by Henie Onstad Art Centre in 1984 after being shelved for 11 years. The trio made a comeback in the 90s with the record Travel Pillow in 1994 before cutting Egne Hoder with then young drummer Paal Nilssen-Love in 1999, released by the jazzclub BLÅ own label BP.
