Exploring the Nordic tone

With his mature and sonorous playing style, Christian Vuust has gained a solid reputation on the Danish jazz scene. He is particularly well-known for exploring the special Nordic tone and has recorded 19 albums as a bandleader and participated in more than 60 as a sideman.

Over the years, he has played with names such as Aaron Parks, Ben Street, Jeff Ballard, Hal Crook, Alex Riel, Lars Jansson, Audun Kleive, Silje Neergaard, Per Jørgensen, Kazumi Ikenaga, Pablo Held and the poet Peter Laugesen.

He will be supported by a particularly competent group:

Nikolaj Hess is one of the most widely featured pianists in both Danish and international contexts. He recently published Nikolaj Hess Micro Chapters and Nikolaj Hess Rhapsody, won the award for this jazz release of the year at DMA 2014 with 3xHess for the record Music for Mum and Dad and played his own music in Lars Von Trier's film Melancholia.

In addition, he has been extremely active on the record and concert front with Nikolaj Hess Trio, Hessismore, Hess / Skou and Caroline Henderson. Over time, he has played with names like Lee Konitz, Benny Golson and Etta Cameron.

Peter Vuust is a professor at Aarhus University and the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus / Aalborg, head of the Center for Music in the Brain and, additionally, one of the country's busiest sidemen.

He has been featured on more than 90 records and with international jazz stars such as Tim Hagans, Mal Waldron, Ted Curson and Jukkis Uotila.

Peter Vuust is known for his groovy and responsive backing as well as extremely melodious solos. As a composer and bassist, he has released six albums, most recently Leaves of Love featuring Lars Jansson (p), Veronica Mortensen (voc) and Peter Asplund (trp).

Mikkel Vuust, who is 19 years old, is one of the great talents on the Danish jazz scene. He has already performed with names such as Jakob Fisher, Uffe Steen, Henrik Gunde and Hans Esbjerg.
