Lyrical jazz standards with a view of Aarhus Bay

With this trio, the audience is guaranteed top-level ensemble playing, and the music will consist of jazz standards spiced up with songs from Casper Hejlesen's lyrical repertoire.

Casper Hejlesen is a 22-year-old guitarist and composer from Northern Jutland who is based in Amsterdam. During his relatively short career, he has received numerous awards and toured in countries such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Sweden, and Denmark.

In 2020, he released his critically acclaimed debut album Overture, featuring some of the most talented names on the Danish jazz scene. The album describes growing up in idyllic Northern Jutland but also evokes the chaotic life in which artists often find themselves.

Torben Bjørnskov on bass is a musician and composer and one of Denmark's most sought-after bass players. He has performed and toured most of the world with musicians from a number of countries, especially the US and Scandinavia. Concerts have ranged from small clubs to major international venues such as the North Sea Jazz Festival and the Royal Festival Hall in London. In addition, he appears on studio and live records, including his own album releases.

Drummer Lasse Schjerning graduated from the Southern Danish Conservatory of Music. Curiosity and a high level of ambition have always driven Schjerning, ever since he picked up the sticks at a young age. He has toured most of Europe, played concerts in the US, and released his debut album in 2020.

Look forward to experiencing the trio accompanied by a stunning view of Aarhus Bay.
