The purest kind of jazz / funk

After exactly 10 years of exile, Schantz Segment returns with a number of exclusive concerts for the jazz festivals in Copenhagen and Aarhus. 

This is the purest kind of jazz / funk, which was founded by Herbie Hancock in the early 70s.

Morten Schantz is one of the country's most renowned jazz pianists and has established himself on the international scene with bands such as JazzKamikaze, Morten Schantz Trio / Unicron, and, most recently, with his Godspeed band, which broke through the sound barrier above international and domestic reviewers.

We need to go back to the late previous century, where Morten Schantz was still a teenager, to find the origin of this band. The band quickly grew during the early 00s, where it found its current formation and released two albums, which became successful in Japan. The last time that this band played together on stage was during Copenhagen Jazz Festival in 2008, and much has happened since then.

Drummer Jesper Thomsen has performed with numerous great Danish pop / rock artists and has been the cornerstone of DRs X-Factor band.

Saxophonist Kasper Wagner alternates between tours with the likes of blues singer Thorbjørn Risager and as the primus motor of The Orchestra.

Guitarist Daniel Davidsen, who also plays in Jazz Kamikaze, works as an international hit songwriter for Kylie Minogue, Olly Murs, Rasmus Seechach, and others, and tours with L.O.C.

Bass player Morten Ankarfeldt is busy playing around the world with Mads Mathias Group and Morten Schantz Trio, and has also released several solo records.

Here is an exciting opportunity to relive a unique band with a range that is matched by few. Morten Schantz gathers the band around his explosive compositions, which are based on the two albums Morten Schatz Segment (2004) and Return from Exile (2006).

This concert is part of a two-part concert with Vestbo Trio performing at 8.00 pm.
