Arve Henriksen

Arve Henriksen (born 22 March 1968) is a Norwegian trumpeter.

Career

Henriksen was born in Stranda Municipality and educated on the Jazz program at Trondheim Musikkonservatorium; he later studied music pedagogy, while he played in Bodega Band (1987–88), Luft (1987–89), Veslefrekk from 1989, Close Enough 1990–92, Nutrio from 1990, and recorded with Bjørn Alterhaug and Tre Små Kinesere (1990). After graduating in 1991, he joined the Trio Midt-Norge and Piggy Bop.

He also sings; his wordless vocalising was central to Chiaroscuro, where he often sings in a soprano's range. The control over his head voice is such that in "Opening Image" he could quite easily be mistaken for a woman.

With Supersilent he has been a member of the improvisational band over the last 14 years in Norway, with collaborations with Terje Rypdal among others. John Paul Jones played with them at Punktfestivalen 2010, in Kristiansand, Norway and again at Moldejazz 2012.

John Kellman of the All About Jazz magazine recognized the Arve Henriksen/Jan Bang Double CD Release Show at The Punkt Festival, Kristiansand, Norway, September 2013, as no. 17 of his "Best Live Shows of 2013".
