The borderland of blues and jazz

Uffe Steen and Peter Vuust belong to the absolute jazz elite. At Salling Rooftop, they will be performing for the first time as a duo, playing a number of melodic and well-swinging tunes.

The music explores the borderlands of blues and jazz. The tempo can at times be frantic and played in an equilibristic manner, but there will also be room for beautiful ballads. 

Uffe Steen is one of the best and most unique guitarists. He is known for a special technique that includes playing the guitar upside down. Throughout his long career, he has performed with a longe line of renowned jazz and blues artists, become famous for his empathetic and riveting playing style, and has achieved international acclaim with his CDs that feature Adam Nussbaum on the drums.

Peter Vuust is a professor at Aarhus University and the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus / Aalborg, leader of the Center for Music in the Brain, and is also one of the nation's busiest sidemen. He has been featured on more than 90 records with international jazz stars such as Tim Hagans, Mal Waldron, Ted Curson, and Jukkis Uotila. Peter Vuust is known for his groovy and attentive backing as well as his melodious solos. As a composer and bass player, he has released six albums as a solo artist, most recently Leaves of Love with Veronica Mortensen (voc), Lars Jansson (p), and Peter Asplund (trp).
