Top-shelf Brazilian-inspired jazz

Steen Rasmussen Quinteto has long been established as one of Denmark's best musical attempts at Brazilian-inspired jazz with a personal expression, deep familiarity with the genre, and some of the country's best musicians.

The band's previous five albums received excellent reviews and two were nominated for a DMA Jazz and Carl Pris award. In turn, Steen Rasmussen Quinteto is one of the nation's most sought-after live bands.

In February 2017, Steen Rasmussen went to Florence to play some concerts with Barbara Casini from Italy. It went so well that she was invited to appear on album number six, titled Steen Rasmussen Quinteto - CANTA!, which was recently released.

Barbara Casini is an Italian singer, guitarist, and composer residing in Florence. She has worked with a long line of jazz artists in Italy and abroad, including Enrico Rava, Stefano Bollani, Phil Woods, Lee Konitz, Toninho Horta, and Guinga.

Apart from Babara Casini, the 2018 tour includes Steen Rasmussen's permanent Danish band with Lis Wessberg (trombone), Jacob Andersen (percussion), Fredrik Damsgaard (bass), Jonas Johansen (drums), and bandleader Steen Rasmussen (piano). 

The musicians belong to the absolute elite of the Danish music scene, with great integrity and deep understanding of musical flow.
