Close To Nothing

The bedrock of Norwegian band EH3, led by Norwegian guitarist Erland Helbo, is jazz-rock with a solid pointer to the American tradition, based on the blues, but with jazz's expanded language and harmonic richness. It's also not possible to escape the influence of soul, funk, and classic rhythm & blues. In the Norwegian jazz/rock guitar tradition, we also have musicians who have left their own mark on Erland Helbo and further developed the tonal language of EH3: Terje Rypdal and Jon Eberson for instance.
