A melting pot of jazz, Nordic, afro folk, and classical

Nikolaj Hess is a familiar face on the Danish music scene. He first gained widespread appeal as a sideman for Etta Cameron. Since then, he has studied and performed for extended periods in the US and has stayed in West Africa.

In recent years, Nikolaj Hess has performed at the jazz festivals in Aarhus with Peter Vuust and various soloists.

Nikolaj Hess' musical reach spans widely. For instance, he has performed in a duo with Kira Skov.

As is characteristic of his musical curiosity, Nikolaj Hess has started a collaboration with the string quartet Strings. The septet will perform a broad repertoire with creative input from the likes of Arvo Pärt, Shostakovich, and Ravel, as well as Nikolaj Hess' original tunes.
