Dirty and Dusty Nordic Jazz 

Beautiful melodies that elegantly link chords together in new creative ways meet the grit and grime of blues, soul, and rock.  

Melody takes the leading role in Kristoffer Gori Verdoner's compositions but with plenty of color and counterpoint from the chords' undertones and the music's rhythms.  

Kristoffer Gori Verdoner is an active guitarist and composer who has performed hundreds of times, as both frontman and sideman, with everything from jazz, blues, pop, rock, R'n'B, and hip hop to various big band projects.   

Kristoffer's mastery and love for many different genres and aspects of music are evident in his compositions. As a band, they have found a common and unique sound with plenty of room for the improvisational element, while focusing on the melody, the big picture, and the delivery of the songs.  

In addition to performing in Denmark, Kristoffer has also played in the USA, Canada, England, Germany, Poland, Spain, and Egypt.   

In May 2022, Kristoffer Gori Verdoner Quartet released the debut album, Dancing Seedlings, which consists of 10 of Kristoffer's compositions.   

"Kristoffer has a clear sound that is personal to him. Played on the top of the sleeve, the sharp notes ring like crystal and, as far as I'm concerned, one of the purest guitar sounds I've heard this year." DragonJazz / JazzMania.

"Verdoner obviously has roots that belong in a number of places. You can find traces of jazz, blues, pop, rock, rhythm and blues, and other delights, and Verdoner has put it all together into a very tasty musical gumbo.

Just when I think the brew is about to get a little too sweet, Verdoner & Co. really get going in the song "On the Move" and lets us know that there is plenty of dynamics in his music as well." Tor Hammerø

"This has become a pleasant summer album that shows four talented musicians and a composer who is able to write songs that glide nicely into the ear canals." Jan Granlie, Salt Peanuts.
