  • Jacob Fischer Quartet feat. Zier Romme Larsen

    Guitarist Jacob Fischer presents a superb, hard-swinging quartet featuring some of the immense young talents currently taking the jazz scene by storm. Together, they will dive into carefully selected jazz classics in fresh arrangements alongside their own original compositions.

    With his virtuoso, melodic, and rock-solid playing, bassist Matthias Petri is one of the most prominent young bassists in the country. The quartet is completed by Jacob Lindberg, a very young drummer with a fantastic swing and drive—the latest addition to Danish Jazz from Sweden.
