Kåre Nymark Jr. (born 22 July 1974 in

Arne Domnerus and Morten Gunnar Larsen.[1][2]

Career

Nymark Jr. began playing the cornet in the school band Langevåg Skulekorps when nine years old. He was introduced to jazz by instructors from bands like the Ytre Suløens Jass-ensemble and The Brazz Brothers. As a result of this he started the brass band The Wagga Wagga Band in 1990, together with musical friends, and was involved in other local bands such as Fem Fargar and Big Band Blast. In 1992 he was requested to play with the Ytre Suløens Jass-ensemble, and this was the beginning of a life as professional musician and an 18-year membership of the band.[1]

He was educated at Toneheim folkehøgskole (1993–94), with a major in jazz, and

Rikskonsertene (with the children's show Gumbo).[1]

The Kåre Nymark Jr. Band was established in 2009, with a debut concert at Ungjazz in

New Orleans jazz. All songs are original compositions by Nymark Jr. The band comprises musicians from earlier collaborations: Atle Nymo (tenor saxophone), Kristoffer Kompen (trombone), Jørn Øien (piano), Jens Fossum (bass), and Andreas Bye (drums).[1][3]
