Call it a neo-"New Thing" sensation" - Josef Woodard, DownBeat Magazine

The Norwegian/Swedish quintet Friends & Neighbors was formed in 2008 in Trondheim, Norway. Since their first record, "No Beat Policy" in 2011, they have released three more powerful albums, and established themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the Scandinavian jazz scene. The band is clearly defined by the five members’ strong individual voices as players and composers. Their long experience playing together gives the music a clear and distinct sound. Stretching from melodic ballads to hard swinging free-bop and powerful free jazz, they keep the collective sound intact, showing influences from a wide spectrum of jazz history. The band has been touring extensively for years, including concerts Europe, USA, Japan, New Zealand and Australia.

In 2024 Friends & Neighbors released the album Circles on Clean Feed

"With the customary blend of inventive compositions, accomplished playing and fine interaction, Friends & Neighbors delivers everything one might want from an adventurous jazz combo. And how!"- John Sharpe/All About Jazz
