Strange Siblings
The original trio started playing in 1976 and later the same year won the first prize at the
international jazz competition in Dunkerque, France. Later the same year they were joined by
the late saxophone legend John Tchicai, made 2 recordings and began touring Europe. Since
then the original trio has crisscrossed in several bands and finally in 2017 re-emerged with
trumpeter Kasper Tranberg. The old tunes mixed with brand new material keep the music
fresher than ever: energetic free jazz, unique themes and close-knit interplay is still the band’s
trademark.
