VEJSLEV / BRUNBJERG / ELHØJ TRIO
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Through years of intense collaboration, Kristoffer Vejslev, Martin Brunbjerg, and Rasmus Elhøj have crafted a distinctive and innovative sound within the standard jazz repertoire. Their music is an explosive mix of Nordic minimalism, raw energy, and a punk-like approach that breathes new life into both classic jazz works and their own interpretations of more obscure compositions.
Inspired by artists like Thelonious Monk and Lennie Tristano, the trio transforms their deeply personal approach into something universally gripping and consistently unpredictable.
“The trio keeps the history close without ever standing still - one of the most purely enjoyable jazz albums to come along this year.”
LATEST RELEASE - AMBUM REVIEW
It’s a Riot! lives up to its title - three musicians having way too much fun with the jazz tradition and seeing where it takes them. Guitarist Kristoffer Vejslev, bassist Martin Brunbjerg, and drummer Rasmus Elhøj come out swinging on their debut, reworking jazz standards with punch, humor, and a sense of curiosity.
