Syddansk Musikkonservatorium and Musikhuset Dexter invite you to a mini festival of jazz performed by talented young musicians on their way to the big stages. Four concerts over two days span a wide range of jazz, and the programme is kept open on purpose, so you won't know exactly where each band will take the music.
- Andersen/Jorge/Olivarios Trio: Asger Andersen (percussion), José Jorge (bass) and Christian de Fine Olivarius (piano) play music by Ari Hoenig, Ben Wendel, Alan Pasqua, Will Vinson, Chris Potter and Kasper Tagel, with room for listening, reflection and solo playing.
- Team Gram: a group of six who move from neo soul hits to fluid Polish jazz. The common thread is that the songs are the band members' own favourites. Line-up: Aiste Sepikaite (vocals), Filip Ulman (tenor sax), Emil Friis (guitar), Marcus Ørum Palsbøll (piano), Benjamin Allentoft (bass) and Tuva Järvheden Bergenheim (drums).
- The Open Three: a jazz trio of saxophone, bass and drums with no chordal instrument, working with groove, improvisation and open musical interplay, with odd time signatures and spontaneous ideas. Line-up: Birk Bjørnholt (drums), Marcel Mandel (saxophone) and Anton Tancredi (bass).
It is an opportunity to hear emerging talent up close, and the evening is likely to be lively and varied.
