On this extremly sad day, I will only say: Thanx for everything to one of my best, funniest and loyal friends! Bublibub!
It´s so sad to hear about Bo. This is truly a big loss for all of us, and for the jazz community. Bo did a great job to promote jazz music in Norway and internationally, and his work to bring people together was really outstanding. Our deepest and sincerest condolences. This is sad news. Bo, and of course you, Lars, created a space where we not only shared our passion for music and our love of Norway, but where sincere, strong, warm and supportive friendships were formed.
It is testament to this that we now e-mail from so many corners of the world. I send my deep sympathy and condolences. Tonight I will raise a glass and light a candle, and in this light of friendship will think of Bo and you all. With love and peace
Bo did mention to me that he wanted to make a trip to Penang for the festival over the past couple of years but due to work commitments, he had to cancel both times. I am glad I had a chance to have a nice chat with him on the last couple of times I saw him.
I have nice memories of Bo and “Norway Jazz In A Nutshell” which I will always treasure.
With his passing, for me personally, it seems like a chapter of my life in jazz has closed but it was through him that my “book of jazz” will carry on with the rest of the “Nutshellers” based on the foundation that he has laid on making the jazz world a smaller place.
It´s so sad to hear about Bo. This is truly a big loss for all of us, and for the jazz community. Bo did a great job to promote jazz music in Norway and internationally, and his work to bring people together was really outstanding. Our deepest and sincerest condolences.
