Full throttle original world music. Horn Please! is a young world music band led by saxophonist and composer Johannes Gammelgaard. The band, which consists of an extended rhythm group with four brass players, is rooted in the Aarhus jazz scene and presents full throttle world music. The repertoire consists of beautiful hymns, mysterious soundscapes, and pounding rhythms spiced with riveting improvisations by the band's instrumentalists. The music has been inspired by, among others, the legendary Pierre Dørge & New Jungle Orchestra, the younger Danish band Girls In Airports, as well as the American band The Lounge Lizards – not to mention South African and Indian folklore. Paying tribute to these sources of inspiration, Horn Please! creates its own musical universe full of humour, excitement, and plenty of energy. In addition to their usual repertoire, the band works with delivering new music for temporary projects. For instance, Horn Please! premiered a suite written by Johannes Gammelgaard at Aarhus Jazz Festival 2016, which was developed during a two-month trip through Northern Inda in the spring of 2013 through meetings with Indian musicians and other travellers. He's currently working on new material for the summer concerts. Come and let yourself get carried away on a musical journey to distant skies.
