With the team they have the renowned and versatile Trondheim Jazz Orchestra. The project is based on enlarging the detail richness of the solo hardening flaw game – which has traditionally been the most common way to use hardening flaws. The large ensemble acts as a magnifying glass where they look for the details, then mix, throw it around and evaluate. With Olav and the hardening fella in the center. In addition to the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, they have Alexander Zethson and Lene Grenager on the team, where the latter have arranged several songs. The remaining songs are arranged by Explosive jazz music centered around the HardingfelaSofia itself. The album was recorded in 2014, the ensemble has played several concerts together, the project premiered at Vossajazz in 2012, Riksscenen and Umeå Jazz Festival in 2013, and later played at Stockholm Jazz festival, 2014.
