Top-shelf jazz. Every night during Aarhus Jazz Festival, guests at Tir Na Nóg will be treated to the sound of Nikolaj Hess, Peter Vusst, and his son Mikkel Vuust, who will round of the day with top-shelf jazz. They will be joined by different guest soloists on several nights. Jakob Elvstrøm is one of the nation's funkiest saxophonists. He released his first solo CD SaxClub vol. 1 in 2009, followed by SaxClub vol. 2 in 2013. In the fall of 2014, he released the acid jazz album Play It Back. Jakob Elvstrøm also plays soul jazz with some of the nation's best musicians, including Hammond organist Kjeld Lauritsen, drummer Stefan Pasborg (Ibrahim Electric), and guitarists Per Gade, Niclas Knudsen, and Jakob Bro. Nikolaj Hess is one of the busiest pianists in Denmark as well as internationally. Most recently, he has released Nikolaj Hess Micro Chapters and Nikolaj Hess Rhapsody with 3xHess, won the DMA award for Jazz Release of the Year 2014 for Music for Mum and Dad, and was featured on the soundtrack of Lars von Trier's film Melancholia. He has also been particularly active recording and playing gigs with Nikolaj Hess Trio, Hessismore, Hess / Skou, and Caroline Henderson. Over the years, he has performed with likes of Lee Konitz, Benny Golson, Etta Cameron, and many, many more. Peter Vuust is a professor at the University of Aarhus and The Royal Academy of Music Aarhus / Aalborg. He is also one of the nation's top sidemen. He has been featured on more that 90 records with international stars such as Tim Hagans, Mal Waldron, Ted Curson, and Jukkis Uotila. Known for his groovy and attentive backing, as well as extremely melodious solos, he has also released five albums as a composer and bass player, most recently September Song featuring Lars Jansson (p) and Veronica Mortenson (voc). Peter Vuust is also Denmark leading neuroscientist in music. With his 18 years of age, Mikkel Vuust is one of the big talents on the Danish jazz scene.
