Vejslev and Brunbjerg play together in the trio Vejslev/Brunbjerg/Elhøj, where through years of
intense collaboration, they have managed to create their own sound within the jazz standard
repertoire. The group started as a musical playground or a jazz laboratory where the three
members explored jazz and improvisational music from all corners. They are able to merge new
currents from across the Atlantic with Nordic minimalism and everything in between these two
worlds. For this duo concert, they will now explore some of the lesser-played jazz standards by
composers such as Thelonious Monk, Lennie Tristano, and Billy Strayhorn, as well as jazz
classics, which they will reinterpret in their own distinctive light. In addition to standards, they will
also perform their own compositions from their respective groups.

On Kristoffer Vejslev:
Kristoffer Vejslev's playing style is a blend of the international trends in modern jazz he acquired
during his time at the conservatory in Amsterdam with instructors such as Jesse Van Ruller, Peter
Bernstein, and Reinier Baas, as well as Nordic elements from his Copenhagen hometown where

released five internationally acclaimed albums with Red Gazelle Trio, Vulture Forest, and Vejslev
Exploration Band, all featuring his original music, which has also been in rotation on the radio at

featured as an artist in Jazz Guitar Today....
