  • Nordic guitar summit of the century

Experience a once-in-a-lifetime meeting between two of the North’s most electrifying jazz guitarists as they celebrate 100 years of jazz in Denmark and Finland. The legendary Niclas Knudsen (Ibrahim Electric) shared the stage with icons like Tom Jones and Ray Anderson. The legendary Mathias Sandberg toured with jazz stars such as Brian Charette and Georg Riedel (Jazz på Svenska). Now, for the first time in history, these two trailblazers join forces to carve out new paths for Nordic jazz in the century ahead.

Get ready for deeply swinging, irresistibly groovy, and richly atmospheric music as these Nordic jazz-guitar heroes light up the stage together.

Kim Skotte, Politiken: With his warm, crisp sound and his gently swinging melodic forays, Niclas Knudsen creates a space where you both feel safe and are taken by the hand to discreetly surprising experiences.

Edward Blanco, All about Jazz (USA): The perfect musical medication for any occasion. Finnish guitarist Mathias Sandberg has been called "One of Finland's best kept secrets," and one of the "hardest working jazz musicians in the country.
