Eldbjørg
Raknes´ TINGeLING was founded and
released their first CD in 1997. The
band mixes Eldbjørg´s tunes
to poems by poets like Lorca, W.C. Williams
and P. Celan with improvisation – in
different ways; jazz based and open minded.
TINGeLING’s committed work to Vossajazz
2001 SO MUCH DEPENDS UPON A RED WHEEL
BARROW came on CD in 2002. TINGeLING
has been touring the Nordic countries
and visited France and Belgium .
She is an original, personal musician,
vocalist and composer – more
than ready to meet the big world. (Tor
Hammerø)
Raknes has it – “something”,
this little extra giving the music
its own dimension. Call it warmth,
call it presence or nearness... (Dagens
Næringsliv)
Eldbjørg Raknes is a master
in using good literary texts in her
music. (Roald Helgheim)

been a part of the Norwegian jazz scene
since the beginning of the 90´s.
She was also a part of the group ”Kvitretten” which

jazz musicians…
