Young trio jazz with respect for tradition

Sørensen / Christensen / Jensen trio is a brand new constellation consisting of young, emerging jazz musicians residing in respectively. Manhattan, Berlin and Aarhus.

The group plays original compositions, as well as covers of standards, and does so with respect for tradition combined with a free, playful and modern approach.

Expect a dynamic concert with three seasoned and engaging musicians, where improvisation is paramount.

Rasmus Sørensen grew up in a musical family in Sæby, North Jutland, where, as a nine-year-old, he started playing the piano. After high school, he moved to Sweden to study jazz at Skurups Folkhögskola, after which he worked freelance while based in Copenhagen. One year later, he was admitted to the Manhattan School of Music with a full-tuition scholarship. He has lived in New York City since August 2018 and has toured Russia, the United States, Canada, Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden and Norway.

Adrian Christensen is an emerging bass player nationally and internationally. As a bandleader or co-leader of bands like Bangin' Bülows Nice Jazz Quartet, Balvig / Bülow / Christensen and Abekejser, he helps bring jazz in new directions but is not shy to take on new challenges in other genres.

Jens Emil Jensen is a 22-year-old jazz drummer residing in Aarhus where he studies at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus / Aalborg. For the past couple of years, he has made a name for himself on the Aarhus jazz scene, on which he plays an active role as, among other things, as firm jammer and co-founder of Aarhus Jazz Jam. In addition, he plays in a lot of projects including his quintet Odd Pocket featuring his own compositions.
