  • Nikolaj Bangsgaard

    Drums

    Nikolaj Bangsgaard has, in recent years, established himself as a highly compelling, responsive, and nuanced drummer on the contemporary jazz scene. Possessing a deep instinct for collective interplay, he beautifully balances the role of a solid, driving engine with a rare sensitivity for subtle, sonic textures. Leading his own ensembles—most notably his critically acclaimed quartet—he presents original compositions in which strong melodic lines meet a dynamic, open rhythmic landscape. Nikolaj is renowned for his incredibly attentive and supportive playing. Whether propelling an intense post-bop quartet or colorfully shading more intimate Nordic soundscapes, he brings a mature authority and an infectious energy to the stage.

  • Rasmus Sørensen

    Piano

    Rasmus Sørensen, named Danish Jazz Musician of the Year 2024, moved to New York in 2018 as the first Dane ever to receive a full scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music. He quickly established himself there as one of the city’s most sought-after pianists. Today, Rasmus tours extensively across Europe with his trio and has established himself as an internationally recognized pianist and composer.

  • Rune Fog-Nielsen
