Indie jazz with many sources of inspiration

Originally created by bassist and composer Jens Mikkel, I Think You're Awesome dives into an ocean of indie jazz, combining Afrobeats, country licks, free improvisation, contemporary classical music, and pop in an uplifting mix. 

Their first LP Løft Mig Op Så Jeg Kan Nå from 2014 was followed by Books og Books Live i 2016 as well as Kiss Your Darlings and Acoustic Kiss Your Darlings (EP) in 2018. Most recently, they have released three albums in 2020 consisting of The Kiss Your Darlings Suite, Suite to Be You and Me, and Late Bloomer.

I Think You're Awesome has enjoyed significant airplay on P8 Jazz, helping the band to sell-out gigs across Denmark. They have performed at the Copenhagen and Aarhus Jazz Festivals, played live on national TV, and collaborated with many others, including Aarhus Jazz Orchestra, DR Big Band, Danish trombone legend Ole Fessor Lindgren, saxophone master Christian Vuust, and big band arranger-turned-woman Signe Bisgaard.

Altogether, they are one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the vibrant Danish jazz scene in the last 10 years.
