Anna Stæhr Trio + support: Kristoffer Raasted

With roots in the classic jazz tradition and an eye towards the future, Anna Stæhr Trio creates a unique and present musical universe. The trio combines poetic lyrics, strong melodies and an artistic nerve that unites the intimate with the magnificent. The result is a modern interpretation of vocal jazz that feels both fresh and respectful of the genre's history.

At the forefront of the group is Anna Stæhr, whose songwriting contains a special sense of both poetry and melodic depth. Behind her are two talented musicians: Alfred Ocansey on piano and Eigil Lau Andersen on double bass. Together they manage to transform the trio format into a powerful and captivating meeting between musician and listener.

Anna Stæhr Trio is a tribute to the core values of jazz – the living improvisation, the intimate communication and the rich tradition. At the same time, their music points forward and invites new ways of experiencing vocal jazz.

Support: Kristoffer Raasted / Nolan Lem Duo

The gentle, stable, beautiful voice of vocalist Kristoffer Raasted is the core of a musical collaboration with pianist Nolan Lem that explores a repertoire of timeless jazz standards from The Great American Songbook. Inspired by singers like Johnny Hartman and Earl Coleman, Raasted's deep bass-baryton crooner vocal is the focal point for an exploration and reinterpretation of the evergreen format.
