By gathering the musicians from four Scandinavian countries, this septet represents in the best way the totality of “Northern perspective on jazz”. Their music combines elements from different periods in jazz history, starting from classic New Orleans and Chicago tradition, all the way to free jazz from the sixties with European classic and contemporary experimental structures, thus forming the original, postmodern, very humorous expression. They received two awards from Danish jazz community for their debut Living the Dream – for the best “special issue” and “best new group”.
