Trio jazz with groove, swing and nerve

This trio loves groove, swing and nerve, and at the same time highly values the ensemble and the unpredictable. The repertoire is a mixture of raw-swinging jazz standards, funky grooves and Jens Kristian Kwella's own songs.

All three musicians have been part of the Aarhus jazz scene for 30 years, and out of the total 90 years of experience, an intense ensemble and intimate expression arises.

Jens Christian Kwella has released seven albums as a solo artist. Reviewers have written:

"Jens Christian Kwella masters a fit and richly-faceted style, and his compositions reflect a musician with a sense of both the big picture and the detail".

He has previously been highlighted as one of the leading guitarists in the country and compared to names such as John Scofield, Kenny Burrel and Herb Ellis.

Kwella lectures in guitar at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus / Aalborg and works regularly in Scandinavia, Italy and South Africa.
