The good melody – the cool groove

It has become a tradition and a staple that guitarist Jens Christian Kwella gathers a trio every year to play at Café Gemmestedet. This year it will be Kwella / Lysgaard / Friis who love the good melody and the cool groove. In addition, ensemble, interaction, unpredictability are highly valued.
