Hailing from Aarhus, Denmark, the quartet Clapper juxtaposes classic soul- and fusion jazz vibes with the wonk and groove of modern instrumental hiphop. Their debut album - On Tempo - is out Dec. 8 through Super Bad Disco/HHV, showcasing the groupâs knack for melodic improvisation and neck-snapping switchups, with more than 50.000 plays online since the first single release.
The four members - Frederik Emil BuÌlow, Adrian Christensen, Jeppe Lavsen, and Malthe Jepsen - are well-known faces on the young Danish jazz scene, also playing with other acclaimed acts such as Abekejser, Hvalfugl, and Ipek Yolu. Based on their long collaborative history, theyâre able to strum out new music instinctively when combining forces as Clapper:
âItâs not important for us to adhere to any particular genre or styleâ, Jeppe remarks. âWe just meet up, have fun, and improvise over riffs weâre digging. Having played together for so many years, it takes a very short time to click and move in the same direction. And from there, itâs simply a matter of picking and working with the best ideas from our improvised sessions.â
The same energy translates to their live shows - regular tour de forces in beat-focused jazz that, although the melodic cheerfulness might deceive new listeners, often end up in high-octane fusion workouts with crowds and musicians alike on their feet.

Fra Aarhus, Danmark, kommer kvartetten Clapper, der sammenstiller klassiske soul- og fusion jazz-vibes med det skĂŠve og groovy fra moderne instrumental hiphop. Deres debutalbum - "On Tempo" - udkommer den 8. december gennem Super Bad Disco/HHV og viser gruppens evne til melodisk improvisation og halsbrĂŠkkende skift, med mere end 50.000 afspilninger online siden udgivelsen af den fĂžrste single.
De fire medlemmer - Frederik Emil BĂŒlow, Adrian Christensen, Jeppe Lavsen og Malthe Jepsen - er velkendte ansigter pĂ„ den unge danske jazzscene og spiller ogsĂ„ med andre anerkendte bands som Abekejser, Hvalfugl og Ipek Yolu. Baseret pĂ„ deres lange samarbejdshistorie er de i stand til intuitivt at skabe ny musik, nĂ„r de slĂ„r sig sammen som Clapper:
"Det er ikke vigtigt for os at fÞlge nogen bestemt genre eller stil," bemÊrker Jeppe. "Vi mÞdes bare, har det sjovt og improviserer over riffs, vi kan lide. Efter at have spillet sammen i sÄ mange Är tager det meget kort tid at klikke og bevÊge os i samme retning. Og derfra handler det simpelthen om at udvÊlge og arbejde med de bedste ideer fra vores improvisationssessioner."
Den samme energi oversÊttes til deres liveoptrÊdener - regelmÊssige tour de forces inden for beat-fokuseret jazz, som selvom den melodiske glÊde mÄske narer nye lyttere, ofte ender i hÞjoktan-fusionsÞvelser med publikum og musikere, der stÄr pÄ deres fÞdder.
