A warm and direct jazz approach

Irresistible and finely tuned Veronica Mortensen - one of our top female singers - takes the warm and direct approach to jazz.

Her voice is effortless and relaxed, and she possesses a unique feel for the moment.

Peter Vuust is a unique combination of deeply respected musician and world-class neuroscientist, as he is a leader in the field of Music in the Brain.

Over the years, the collaboration between Veronica Mortensen and Peter Vuust has yielded numerous concerts and the release of three CDs, with September Songs (2013) being nominated for a DMA in the category Danish Vocal Jazz of the Year

On his newest album Leaves of Love, which was released in the fall of 2017, Peter Vuust has written music for lyrics by Roy-Frode Løvland, who has written melancholic and lyrical poems based on his sister's struggle with cancer.

The CD explores the Nordic sound, which is characterised by a certain type of melancholy where sad songs are not necessarily depressing. On the contrary, they may help us during tough periods.
