For this concert, the two guitarists and composers Kristoffer Vejslev and Rasmus Oppenhagen
Krogh are performing together for the first time. With a wealth of shared musical inspirations such

their two guitars blend seamlessly.

On Rasmus Oppenhagen Krogh:
Compositionally, Krogh works in the intersection between strict rhythmic progressions and open
rubato passages, as well as the meeting between the through-composed and the improvised. Led
by his lush Frisell/Bro-esque guitar sounds, the ensemble navigates through a wealth
of cavernous soundscapes and rich harmonic planes.
On Krogh’s previous releases, he recorded with some of the finest musicians that Denmark has to

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
he studied with Jakob Bro. As a third-generation composer, he is strongly influenced by his
father's (Jakob Vejslev) and grandfather's (Tony Vejslev) nationally-known melodies for Danish
poets, giving his melodies a robust lyrical quality. He has written over 70 compositions and
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
home in Denmark and abroad. He has performed concerts in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the
Netherlands, England, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and China and was recently
featured as an artist in Jazz Guitar Today....
