Through a groundbreaking idea, Berg’s compositions blend together with YouTube clips of musicians and singers from all over the world, creating a concert experience beyond the ordinary, where cultural borders, as well as the border between digital and acoustic technique is being erased; the live musicians seamlessly flowing in and out of the video performances projected behind the trio.
”The Fellini of Swedish jazz” was one of the first press words after the debut in 2009. To this day, the band has toured the US, Canada, Europe and Japan, released three records, two feature movies and recently the single The Missing Piece - featuring, among other, the exile pakistani musician Imran Mohammad, singing his heart out from a downtown Oslo apartment.
"Berg transcends conceptual cleverness; the tunes and the performances would be fantastic even without the video cameos." DOWNBEAT
