The telepathic interplay between Nils on bass, Knut on drums, and Simon on piano has been present and thriving since they began playing together in 2010, when they instantly became one of the most acclaimed and versatile bands based in Denmark. Whether parading or drifting, deafening or silencing, the understanding displayed between the three musicians demonstrates their uncanny ability to beat and blow as one organism.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their debut album, “Sunshine Sunshine or Green as Grass,\u201d was heralded as a masterpiece by jazz critics and nominated as \u201cJazz Album of the Year\u201d at the Danish Music Awards in 2012. The success continued with the also-nominated duology \u201cKIG OP 14\u201d and \u201cKIG OP 15\u201d in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Their latest release OMHU is their strongest offering to date, and was awarded \u201cBest album of the year\u201d at Danish Music Awards Jazz 2019. On the album, their strong and clear musical visions shine in their continuous exploration and reinvention of the art of the piano trio.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
