Without a doubt one of the rising stars of the European jazz scene, the Danish pianist and composer Kathrine Windfeld. Developing an electric synergy, driven by the powerful and delicate accompaniment of young Scandinavian and Polish musicians selected by Windfeld, it effortlessly combines playful precision with enthusiastic power.
The trumpet section offers a delicate blend of strong individual voices in a tight, crisp ensemble and impressive solo moments. Poles Marek Konarski and Tomasz Dabrowski are unique and internationally recognized players, and Hannes Bennich is a promising young Swedish alto saxophonist and composer. All of them bring a furious energy and versatility of a high artistic level.
