Two seasoned Aarhus musicians on stage together

'Technical and charming' was the headline of JazzNyt's review of a Michael Bladt solo album, which is an ample description.

In Aarhus, Michael Bladt is one of those musicians that other musicians regard with great respect. This is largely owed to his membership of Klüvers Big Band (now Aarhus Jazz Orchestra), where he has demonstrated great technical skill on many occasions.

He is a saxophonist of many talents. For instance, he plays tenor, alto, soprano, and baritone saxophone, as well as the bass clarinet, flute, and alto flute. In 2015, he released his latest solo album Next Step. Michael Bladt will mainly be playing the tenor saxophone in this duo with Jefsen.

Jens Jefsen is a coveted bass player who mainly plays jazz with an easily recognisable, lyrical style.

During the 70s and 80s, he played with many American jazz greats, including Dexter Gordon, Charlie Chavers, Ben Webster, Slide Hampton, Johnny Griffin, Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Eldridge, and Harry Sweets Edison. Additionally, Jens Jefsen has played with many trendsetting Danish bands and musicians for more than 40 years. He has released nine solo albums, most recently A Secret Sigh (2016).
