Scandinavian quartet with a new album - plus one

Aloft Quartet is a Scandinavian band that released its debut album First Year on 26 January, 2018.

Their original music is inspired by the Nordic and American jazz scenes. The four musicians met at Skurups Folkhögskola in Sweden in 2016 and have since been on three tours around Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and most recently Berlin.

Niels Overgaard (JazzNyt) wrote:

'First Year is a successful debut album that presents four new and exciting jazz musicians. The fact that they have a knack for good melodic compositions in an additional plus. The record bodes well for the future of the Danish jazz scene.'

For this occasion, the band is joined by the brother of the pianist, trumpet player Jakob Sørensen. Both Jakob and Rasmus Sørensen have previously been named jazz artist of the year in Northern Jutland.
