Sussebass

Some of Norway’s most famous artists, Wenche Myhre, Kari Diesen and Sølvi Wang formed a group called “Oslo Harmony Quartet”, a quartet with only three singers.Sussebass (1967) was a huge success and is still alive today in many different recordings. The original, Peek-a-boo, was also quite famous and recent recordings with “New Vaudeville Band” still are played.

The arranger got a call from a bandwho wanted to make a little fuss on their tuba player, so this arrangement is almost to be considered as a tuba / bass solo. It is also possible to let some of the other instruments raise up and stand close to “Susse” (“Kissing”)-bass and play thesolos directly to the one / those whoplay bass line.
