Since the early ’90s, he has been driven by a desire to recreate that open-ended, “anything goes” spirit, and today he is a familiar presence in Copenhagen’s music scene across radio, bars, and clubs.

Andrea Passenger, part of the Jazz:Re:Found festival DJ collective, moves effortlessly between club and concert settings. He performs in duo with trombonist Gianluca Petrella and has shared lineups with names such as Theo Parrish, Nicky Siano, and Gilles Peterson. With appearances across Europe and Japan, and releases on labels like Light Touches Records and Right Tempo, he brings a deep and curious approach to his selections.

The Chosen Groove brings together a group of close friends, and some of Copenhagen’s grooviest jazz musicians. Drawing from both jazz traditions and the Brazilian songbook, they create a vibrant, rhythmic soundscape perfectly suited for a summer afternoon at Balders Plads.

Andreas Fryland Groove Trio builds on decades of presence within the Danish jazz scene, moving fluidly between jazz, soul, and funk. With a focus on tight interplay, heavy grooves, and expressive improvisation, the trio creates a sonic space where energy and musicality go hand in hand.
