Nakama is Japanese and can be translated as «comrade», or simply a community of people where no one is above the other. Nakama is an expansive band, and as of 2015 it consists of four genuine artists who give life to a material which can be characterized as European jazz anno 2000, American contemporary music anno 1960, Japanese traditional music and a touch of romantic music. Nakama is emptiness and form, form and emptiness. It is what you get when you mix
Japanese anime, minimalism, chili and zen-buddhism. Nakama is an attempt to make the world a better place through the exploration of sound and silence. Nakama is what it is, and Nakama is:
Adrian Løseth Waade - violin
Ayumi Tanaka - piano
Andreas Wildhagen - drums
Christian Meaas Svendsen - bass

I'm a composer and band leader whose chosen instrument is vibraphone. My music ranges from straight ahead jazz, to funk, Latin styles, and some heady cinematic stuff. I'm originally from Upstate NY, lived in NYC for 10 years and now live in LA.
