XHUD at Jazzhus Montmartre

The music from the Aalborg based group Xhud draws on sounds from the ambient and experimental genre. It is a project that explores the interplay between emotions and spaces in music and art, and which therefore results in contemporary and modern jazz compositions. The music is even performed with vivid, graphic drawings that are part of the group's artistic expression. The graphic element has become a major feature of the band and has seriously put a big emphasis on the originality of their musical project.

The band was established during the first corona lockdown, which gave them an incredible peaceful time for creative immersion and not the least a lot of time to refine the project and bring the graphic and musical ideas to life. The result is a musical project, which reached all the way to the finals of the Jazz Competition 2021, and which is seriously pushing the boundaries of modern jazz....

The music from the Aalborg based group Xhud draws on sounds from the ambient and experimental genre.

The result is a musical project, which reached all the way to the finals of the Jazz Competition 2021, and which is seriously pushing the boundaries of modern jazz.

Xhud is one of the four finalists in Jazzkonkurrencen 2020 and has in that context been given the possibility to perfom as a headliner at Jazzhus Montmartre. The concert is presented in collaboration with JazzDanmark and Gangstedfonden.

Musikken fra den Ålborgensiske gruppe Xhud trækker på lyde fra den ambiente og eksperimenterende genre. Det er et projekt, der udforsker samspillet mellem følelser og rum i musik og kunst, og som derfor resulterer i nutidige og moderne jazz-kompositioner. Musikken udføres tilmed med levende, grafiske tegninger, der indgår som fast del af gruppens kunstneriske udtryk. Det grafiske element er blevet et stort kendetegn for bandet og har for alvor sat en stor streg under originaliteten i deres musikalske projekt.

Bandet blev etableret under den første corona-lockdown, hvilket gav dem en helt utrolig ro til kreativ fordybelse og ikke mindst tid til at forfine projektet og føre de grafiske og lydmæssige idéer ud i livet. Resultatet blev et musikalsk projekt, der nåede hele vejen til finalen i Jazzkonkurrencen 2021, og som for alvor rykker ved grænserne i den moderne jazz.

Xhud er en af de fire finalister i Jazzkonkurrencen 2020 og har i den forbindelse fået muligheden for en headliner-koncert på Jazzhus Montmartre. Koncerten præsenteres i samarbejde med JazzDanmark og Gangstedfonden.
