He also co-leads several active bands, including Schemes, TOG, and When I Return, and has performed with bands such as Cosmic Swing Orchestra, Nye Norske Storband, and Trøndelag Big Band. Brede is a promising saxophonist with many projects spanning various genres, and regardless of what he plays, he brings his powerful energy, passion, and beautiful melodies with him.
With his new quartet, he aims to delve deep into the jazz tradition following the Coltrane legacy and attempt to transfer its essence to the alto saxophone, while also putting his own modern twist on it. With a band consisting of some of Norway's finest young jazz musicians, the group plays intense and heartfelt music with love, sincerity, and respect for the roots of the music.
