Inventive, swinging jazz music quartet

The players are amongst Denmark’s finest and have played with jazz legends such as Roy Elridge, Svend Asmussen, Edmond Hall and Oscar Pettifind.

The quartet’s first CD, ‘Just Jazz’, delivers sparkly renditions of jazz classics that the group play with a surplus of elegance, enthusiasm and experience that comes from a full life in the service of jazz.
