Exploring the Nordic sound

Christian Vuust has made a solid name for himself on the Danish jazz scene with his mature and resonating playing style. He is particularly well-known for exploring the special Nordic sound and has recorded 15 albums as a bandleader and been featured on more than 50 as a sideman throughout the years.

Nikolaj Hess is a busy pianist in Denmark and abroad. He has recently released Nikolaj Hess Micro Chapters and Nikolaj Hess Rhapsody. With 3xHess' release Music for Mum and Dad, he won a DMA for Jazz Release of the Year in 2014 and wrote the music for Lars Von Trier's movie Melancholia. In terms of both records and gigs, he has been particularly active with Nikolaj Hess Trio, Hessismore, Hess / Skou, and Caroline Henderson, and has performed with artists such as Lee Konitz, Benny Golson, and Etta Cameron throughout the years.

Peter Vuust is a professor at Aarhus University and The Royal Academy of Music Aarhus / Aalborg, leads the Center for Music in the Brain, and is among 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 extremely melodic solos. He has released six albums as a composer and bass player, most recently Leaves of Love with Veronica Mortensen (voc), Lars Jansson (p), and Peter Asplund (trp).

19-year-old Mikkel Vuust is among the top talents on the Danish jazz scene. He has already performed with artists such as Jakob Fisher, Uffe Steen, Henrik Gunde, and Hans Esbjerg.
