Jens Christian Kwella (g) Peter Friis (b) Kristoffer Lysgaard (drm)
Unpredictable Jazz with Groove and Swing
The trio loves groove, swing, and nerve with an emphasis on ensemble, interaction, and the unpredictable.
The repertoire will be a mix of swinging jazz standards, funky grooves, and Kwella's own songs.
The three musicians have been part of the Aarhus jazz scene for many years, and their combined years of experience create an intense ensemble and contemporary expression.
Jens Christian Kwella recently released a new album, GuitarRama Jazzical, featuring new music for electric and classical guitar. He has an extensive resume and has played with stars such as Curtis Steigers (US), Randy Brecker (US), Marc Johnson (US), and Eliane Elias (BR).
Reviewers wrote: "Kwella is a highly experienced and skilled guitarist with a strong technical foundation, giving him the calmness and energy to perfectly balance technique, empathy, and presence".
Kristoffer Lysgaard has for many years distinguished himself as one of Aarhus' best drummers in a wide range of contexts, including Sam And The Soulmates.
Peter Friis is one of the most popular bass players in Aarhus and has played with Jesper Thilo, Finn Odderskov, Trio Before, and many others.
