Evergreens, jazz, and bossa nova

Rõivassepp / Kwella / Madsen are three of the most prominent names on the Aarhus jazz scene. The repertoire focuses on The Great American Songbook and consists of evergreens, jazz tunes, and bossa nova. The trio knows its way around musical traditions and moves playfully between mainstream jazz, Latin, and contemporary sounds.

With their unique blend of intense vocals and beautiful ensemble playing, the three musicians guarantee a good and atmospheric experience.

Estonian jazz singer Karmen Rõivassepp has had a meteoric rise to fame. Based in her current hometown of Aarhus, she has built up a large and loyal fan base in just a few years.

In 2018, she was awarded Aarhus Jazz Talent 2018 by Aarhus Jazz Festival and has since performed with DR Big Band and Aarhus Jazz Orchestra, among others.

Guitarist Jens Christian Kwella has been a mainstay of the Aarhus jazz scene for 30 years and has released seven critically acclaimed albums of his own.

Bassist Jens Mikkel Madsen has won the soloist prize in the Young Nordic Jazz Comets competition. He is now a prominent name on the young Danish jazz scene, performing with a number of younger colleagues in various constellations.
