Haftor Medbøe Group has rapidly become a mainstay of the Scottish music scene both headlining and supporting visiting artists such as Esbjorn Svensson Trio and Bill Frisell. With roots in Norway, Iceland, Poland and Australia the group brings a fresh and invigorating approach by fusing contemporary sound worlds with strong melodies over driving grooves. Taking inspiration from Scottish bands Mogwai and Boards of Canada, HMG brings jazz with an edge to a new and eager audience.

A Box of Monkeys (2010) is available from Fabrikant Records, Coda and worldwide digital stores. Produced by Calum Malcolm and Haftor Medbøe, the album showcases exquisitely lyrical vocals by Anneke Kampman and helter skelter programming by Gavin Hislop (aka Babyshaker).

New : Happy (2008) is available in CD and download formats from Fabrikant Records and all good digital stores. Engineered by Dave Hook, mixed and mastered by Calum Malcolm, the recording features saxophonist Konrad Wiszniewski and very special guest bassist Eva Malling from Copenhagen with a cameo appearance on blues harp by Tommy Harmonica.

In Perpetuity (2006), co-produced by Calum Malcolm, is on world wide CD and digital release through Linn Records.
