TO BE RELEASED DEC 5TH 2025
 
On "Did We Really?" the internationally praised quartet Cortex have joined forces with Norway's national treasure of newer times, Hedvig Mollestad. The jazz guitarist placed somewhere between Terje Rypdal and Iron Maiden. They've toured together as a quintet for quite a while to great response, and finally the result has been recorded as an album!
