Sebastian Rochford is back at Gaarden & Gaden with the fantastic project “Finding Ways”, which is also the title of his latest album, released on Edition Records in 2025.
Joining him are two of the UK’s most distinctive guitar improvisers, as well as this year’s DMA Jazz recipient of the Musician of the Year award, Anders “AC” Christensen.

Finding Ways explores a raw guitar sound with little or no effects, anchored by the deep groove of Rochford and AC.
