Albert Reinholdt’s Closet Quintet – Live at Blågårds Apotek (Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2025)

Albert Reinholdt’s Closet Quintet brings original instrumental music to life with heart, energy, and daring contrasts. With an unconventional lineup—violin, trombone, piano, double bass, and drums—the group moves effortlessly between tight grooves and spacious sonic landscapes, between rhythm and stillness.

Each piece is a wordless story: sometimes playful, sometimes raw, but always intentional. Albert’s compositions draw on the rhythmic richness of Cuban music, the improvisational spirit of jazz, and the melodic clarity of Nordic folk traditions. Influences range widely—from Irakere to Weather Report, Joni Mitchell to Cannonball Adderley.

It’s music that listens as much as it speaks—inviting the audience into a dynamic world where rhythm breathes, melodies shift shape, and silence holds just as much power as sound.
