Anna Roemer:
(DK)
Anna Roemer har altid været dybt fascineret af loops, soundscapes og det simple, næsten ambiente udtryk. Det seneste år har hun for alvor etableret sig på den danske musikscene med sine egne projekter og udgivelser, hvor hun bla. har det anmelderroste band KALEIIDO sammen med saxofonist Cecilie Strange. Første single “Evening Song” til Roemers debut album “Azure” bliver spillet flittigt på P8 Jazz og resten af albummet udkommer til september. Live kan man forvente masser af improvisation, klangflader og nordisk ambient jazz, når Roemer spiller et intimt solo sæt af numre fra det kommende album og musikken fra Ep’en “Bakkedraget” hun udgav sidste år.

Rasmus Oppenhagen Krogh Trio:
(DK)
Guitarist og komponist Rasmus Oppenhagen Krogh udgav i 2020 albummet Whereabouts på April Records. Albummet markerer Kroghs anden soloudgivelse, ovenpå sit roste debutalbum Distill fra 2017. Whereabouts har ligeledes høstet rosende anmeldelser og været fremhævet som ’ugens album’ på DR P8 Jazz. Musikken undersøger krydsfeltet mellem komposition/improvisation og simplicitet/kompleksitet, forholdet mellem tid og rum og de soniske kvaliteter af musikerne som en samlet enhed.

Trioen vil denne aften udforske materiale fra Kroghs to albumudgivelser, samt endnu ikke udgivet materiale. Gruppen består af nogle af de førende stemmer på den danske jazzscene, der arbejder på kryds og tværs af stilarter og udtryk, og som er kendt fra deres arbejde med navne som Jakob Bro, Kira Skov m.fl.

Guitarist and composer Rasmus Oppenhagen Krogh’s latest album Whereabouts was released in 2020 on April Records. It is the second album release from Rasmus Oppenhagen Krogh following his critically acclaimed debut album Distill from 2017. Whereabouts has also received positive reviews and has been highlighted as ‘album of the week’ on Danish national radio DR. The music explores the intersection between improvisation/composition and simplicity/complexity, the relation between time and space and the sonic qualities of the musicians gathered in unity.

The trio will explore material from Krogh’s two album releases and brand new unreleased music. The group consists of some of the leading voices of the contemporary Danish jazz scene, who works across genres and borders, and are known for their work with acclaimed artists/bands such as Jakob Bro, Kira Skov among others.
