Arne Bendiksen Studio

Recording studio located in Østerdalsgaten 1, Vålerengen, Oslo, Norway. Opened 1966 by Arne Bendiksen, as he wanted his record company Arne Bendiksen A/S to have its own studio. The studio became known for "The Bendiksen Sound" in jazz circles. This was attributed in part due to the studio's grand piano, which was highly regarded by famous ECM artists such as Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea.
