So excited to present our New Album Nikolaj Hess Spacelab & Strings on Sunnyside Records, with Mikkel Hess, AC, Cæcilie Balling, Josefine Opsahl, Jakup Lützen, Christian Ellegaard, Kasper Tranberg the producer, release June 18
“Danish pianist/composer Nikolaj Hess returns, melding two ensembles on Spacelab & Strings. Interweaving a classical string quartet with a piano trio, the recombinant septet finds Hess delving into new abstractions, exploring color, tonality and time.”

“Simply put, these guys are the best piano trio in Denmark, and Nikolaj Hess is one of the most inventive jazz pianists working today” (Mitch Myers Magnet Magazine 2019)
