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....
