Steinar Nickelsen
Devoted to the B-3 organ, Steinar Nickelsen (* 1978) wanted to play every kind of music on the organ, not only the music associated with the jazzorgan tradition. This has resulted in an exploring playing with original tunes, while keeping the groovy feel of the Hammond organ. Steinar also plays church organ improvisations and other analogue keyboards (minimoog, oberheim obx, arp 2600).
 
He was elected "Young Norwegian Jazz Musician of the year" in 2002 with the trio "Solid!". This trio also won the international jazz contest in Getxo, Spain, in the summer 2003. In 2003 he played 8 concerts with "Trondheim JazzOrchestra" and Pat Metheny.
 
Nickelsen has also played with (among others) Pål Thowsen, Jon Eberson, Sidsel Endresen, Eldbjørg Raknes, Nils-Olav Johansen, Per Oddvar Johansen, Kresten Osgood, Marc Bernstein, Jonas Kullhammar, and the trio "Jupiter".
