Pianisten Lucas Dann blev født i Toronto, Canada i 1997 og flyttede til Europa i 2015. Hans seneste optrædener har været en række fuldstændig improviseret solo klaverkoncerter. I det europæiske avantgarde-fællesskab omfatter Dann’s nuværende samarbejdspartnere cellisten Anssi Karttunen, pianisten Harmen Fraanje, trommeslageren Kresten Osgood samt billedkunstner, klangkunstner og komponist Goodiepal. Danns diskografi spænder fra musikken fra Thelonious Monk, original kompositioner, til fri musik med en ny live-optagelse udgivet i juli 2022 på Elastic Records med titlen “solo”. Den amerikanske pianist Brad Mehldau beskriver ham som “en blanding af Monk, Chopin og Dann”

Trommeslager, komponist og multi-instrumentalist Kresten Osgood har i godt 20 år været centralt placeret i dansk musikliv, men har også spillet med adskillige internationalt berømte musikere i mange forskellige konstellationer. Han er blevet kaldt “det bedste der er sket i dansk jazz siden 80’erne”, “Vildmanden i det danske jazzvåbenskjold” og avisoverskriften i Information: ”tendensen i dansk jazz hedder Osgood” er ikke til at tage fejl af. I al den tid har Osgood været identificeret med sin faste gruppe: “Kresten Osgood Og Hvad er Klokken”, som har gjort verden usikker med sine ekstreme koncerter, hvor alle yderpunkter er blevet afprøvet. De seneste år har Osgood desuden taget favntag med en ny kvintet, som er helt hans egen. Sammen tager de markante medlemmer af kvintetten udgangspunkt i Osgoods kompositioner i en legesyg og kreativ udforskning af jazzens væsen.

Paper Trio (US/DK):
Randi Pontoppidan – voice, live electronics
Thomas Agergaard – saxophone, flute
Greg Cohen – double bass

På med hjelmen, når de musikalske kosmonauter i Paper Trio sætter kursen mod en strato-strøm i det dybe rum. Sådan beskriver de 3, Randi Pontoppidan (stemme og elektronik), Greg Cohen (dobbelt bas) og Thomas Agergaard (saxophone og fløjte) selv musikken, når de uden grænser udforsker trioens musikalske og spirituelle fællesrum. Ved at tro på hinandens evne til at dykke med hovedet først ud i det dybe rum, er dette musikalske udsagn en direkte repræsentation af trioens natur. Alt kan ske.
