Hard-swinging New Yorker style

The charismatic and reckless drummer Kristoffer Lysgaard has assembled a new trio with guitarist Morten Haugshøj and bass player Thorbjørn Stefansson.

The band explores the sound of free play and spontaneity with the added tightness of the New York jazz scene. The band has been inspired by the hot, contemporary guitar trios of New York, such as those led by Gilad Hekselman, Miko Moreno, and Jonathan Kreisberg.

The repertoire primarily consists of jazz standards and a few original tunes. However, the band incorporates multiple rhythmic layers in its expression as well as a personal touch that is everything but boring. This is the hard-swinging New York style.

The band might be joined by a saxophonist and form a quartet. 

The trio can be heard later on the same evening as jam openers at HeadQuarters for Aarhus Jazz Festival's official Late Night Jazz Jam.
