Two tricky additions:
 
Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen
Cæcilie Norby
 
And some corrections:
 
Ketil Bjørnstad
Nils Petter Molvær
Kristin Asbjørnsen
Nils Økland
 
(Never trust non-Scandinavian spellings of Scandinavian names. Never ever.)

 

Yup, Nils Økland is in my list, love his singing violin, which creates a vivid bleak Scandinavian landscape.

Playing Lars Danielsson's latest "Liberetto" now in the background. This is so nice!

 
Just picked up a copy here States-side...next on my playlist this morning; like to start out the day with some classical so right now it's Mahler. Looking forward to this new release by Danielesson!!!

I picked up Ola Kvenberg's "Liarbird" yesterday from gubemusic.com in 24Bit 96Khz resolution.  Beautiful, beautiful music.

From the gubemusic site:
 
 
[size=0.8em] Ola Kvernberg, violin impresario par excellence, returns to Jazzland with yet another astounding album: Liarbird.[/size]
[size=0.8em] The album effortlessly moves between moments of serene beauty and raucous full-on jams, at times almost ambient in texture, at times sounding like a drunken night of revelry.[/size]
[size=0.8em] The division between composition and improvisation is often blurred, with moments of unison emerging and disappearing unexpectedly, all the time carrying the music forward to new heights.[/size]

Just ordered Hyperborean by Arild Andersen. I heard it (the song Hyperborean) on the Greek Audiophile documentary and I was blown away... excellent double bass.

Siri's Svale Band gave out two albums in the '90's. Female vocal, two basses, percussion and saxophone. Didn't find out about this group until a couple of weeks ago, but now I'm completely hooked.
 
Here's a link to the opening track from their first album, Blackbird (1990):
