The Søren Høst Quartet is an entirely new constellation on the Danish jazz scene. The group consists of some of the country’s most acclaimed musicians, each with a successful career in their own right, and they all share a deep love for swing, blue notes, and strong melodies.

Søren Høst leads the band, and the music revolves around his musical universe — both through his own compositions and carefully selected pieces from the American songbook.

Søren’s musical palette is rich in colors, ranging from the hot and swinging jazz of the 1930s to the roaring Texas-tenor tradition, with clear detours into the elegance of hard bop — all interpreted in a personal way and always with the heart rooted in the blues.

The music is meant to be danceable and festive while still speaking to the soul, and that is something the group’s members strive for, both individually and together.
