All about the

compositional aspect

The music is inspired by the perception of form and development found in classical music, using these principles as tools to create longer and more meaningful structures. The result is a contemporary style of jazz that puts focus on the grand narratives in the music.

Based on

philosophical themes

“Historier om dette og hint” (2022)

“By the Last Man” (2023)

With two album releases, the band has explored two distinct philosophical themes, weaving a consistent thread throughout its repertoire.

Historier om dette og hint has been streamed more than a million times, and By the Last Man has been selected as 'Album of the Week' on Danish radio station P8 Jazz.
