Norwegian jazz tenor saxophonist, born 21 August 1954 in Vadsø, Norway
from discogs
Norwegian Bodil Niska is one of the few female tenor saxophone artists around to work in the tradition of jazz legends such as Ben Webster, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims or Coleman Hawkins. Her tone is soft, yet powerful and soulfully expressive. Her musical approach takes the legacy from the golden years of jazz into the 21st. century.
Bodil was born in the arctic town of Hammerfest, located in northern Norway where she grew up playing in the school marching band.
Her first musical memory is sitting on her father's lap while he played Misty for her. Aksel Niska, an accomplished engineer, painter and accordion player also introduced her to the saxophone sounds of Ben Webster and Stan Getz.
When the school band managed to aquire their first saxophone, Bodil had to physically fight off the boys in the band
