The members of this orchestra have worked together more than ten years. The band plays modern jazz; swing; ballads; evergreens and ballroom music; South-American music (latin, bossa nova) and Scandinavian folk tunes. The broad repertoire makes the band excellent for every arrangement to which live music would mean something special.

Per Høglend septet has performed at Kongsberg International Jazz Festival in 1992 an 1993; at jazzclubs in the Oslo area; at many international and national scientific congresses; art exhibitions; weddings; anniversaries etc. In September 1996 the orchestra gave the concert at Modumseminaret. In March 1997, the orchestra gave eleven concerts in Beijing, China, invited by the Beijing tourist office and Beijing International Hotels. The orchestra also played for the American Embassy in Beijing.

The origional crew of the band consist of one professional musician. The rest of the members had other permanent jobs. Three of the members in the band was (and still are) psychiatrists, one was director in a Norwegian mental hospital and two members worked in the educational system in Norway. So that's why the Septet used the nick name:
