Ole Amund Gjersvik: Jazz bass player

Heard this afternoon on Radio Norway, an instrumental piece titled "Joik" by Ole Amund Gjersvik. He plays acoustic bass, according to his website, and he makes his living as "a freelance doublebass player and composer." His styles include "jazz, blues, pop, rock, country, folk, Argentinean tango, bossa nova, samba, Greek and classical music." I think I heard them all in "Joik," which is a style of Lapp or Sami traditional singing.
