Masqualero

Masqualero (1983-1991) was a Jazz band from Norway, originally named The Arild Andersen/Jon Christensen Quintet, but soon changed its name to Masqualero.

Biography

In addition to Arild Andersen (double bass) the band consisted of Jon Christensen (drums), Jon Balke (keyboards), Tore Brunborg (saxophone) and Nils Petter Molvær (trumpet). Balke left the band after two album releases, and was replaced by Frode Alnæs (guitar) who participated on the third album Aero. During the last few years (and on their last album), the band had neither a pianist or guitarist and performed as a quartet. They toured in USA, Canada and Europe in addition to several venues in Norway.
The band was awarded three times Spellemannprisen in the class Jazz.

    Yeah
    Just when I had the money to spend
    And I was always thinkin' it would never end
    Then the time came to the end of the game
    Don't you know
    And just when the sky got shiny and bright
    There never seemed to be an end of the light
    But then the clouds came, it started to rain
    Don't you know
    Just when it was goin'
    Just when it was goin' so good
    Just when it
    Just when it was goin' so good
    But just when the highway straightened out for a mile
    And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
    A fork in the road bought a new episode
    Don't you know
    Just when it
    Just when it was goin' so good
    Just when it was goin'
    Just when it was goin' so good
    Baby, don't you worry
    I said, baby don't you cry
    We're gonna get it together
    And I know you're askin' why
    Yeah, just when it
    Just when it was goin' so good
    Just when it was goin'
    Just when it was goin' so good, yeah
    Yeah
    Just when baby
