Pianist Anja Lauvdal, bass player Fredrik Luhr Dietrichson and drummer Hans Hulbækmo are all in their early twenties, and have been part of the creative milieu in the Jazz Department of the Trondheim Conservatory of Music. In 2011 Moskus was the first jazz band to
win Grappa Record Company’s annual “Debut Artist Award”.

Moskus combines a personal and mature mode of expression, normally found among much older musicians, with youthful energy and unprejudiced openness. The band has a dynamic presence, alternating effortlessly between uninhibited playfulness and introspective solemnity, between free improvisation and composed material. The three
members of the group function as equals, and they all contribute as composers.

The trio has released four records, all gaining positive critics and reviews. "Salmesykkel" (2012), "Mestertyven" (2014), "Ulv Ulv" (2016) and "Mirakler" (2018). On "Ulv Ulv", Nils Økland contributes as a sideman playing harbanger fiddle. All albums released on Hubro Music.

Moskus has toured and played concerts worldwide, including countries as Japan, Canada in addition to a lot of european countries and of course all the Scandinavia.
