Lyrical themes – singable melodies. Lars Jansson is the most famous and exciting jazz composer and pianist of the Nordic countries. His music is the definition of the Nordic sound with its lyrical themes and singable melodies. Lars Jansson has written music for all size bands, ranging from small jazz ensembles to septets and big band. However, he is most famous for his trio music, where his knack for beautiful and simple compositions mixed with impactful grooves really shines through. Jansson's music has thrilled critics all over the world and won him countless awards, including a Danish Music Award. Peter Vuust is a professor and neuroscientist at The Royal Academy of Music / Aarhus University, and is featured as a session musician on more than 90 records, including Travel Light (1996) with Carsten Dahl, The Big View (1998), Homesick(2003), and the solo recordImage of Falling (2005). He is also the author of Musik på hjernen and Polyrytmik og -metrik i moderne jazz about Miles Davis' quintet from the 60s, and countless articles about the influence of music in the human brain. He was awarded a scholarship for composers from the Aarhus Kommune in 1997 and Jazzselskabets Gaffelpris award in 2009. In recent years, he has been nominated for a Danish Music Award in 2014 with the CD September Song. Paul Svanberg is one of the Nordic countries' greatest talent, trained at Musikhøgskolen in Stockholm.
