This band is a intimate investigation of harmony, beats, the trumpet and analog synthesis created in order to question “what is the meaning of the trumpet anno 2023”? And if arts, music and improvisation is a mirror of todays society, then how does that translate into a ”jazz” quartet?

This band is a intimate investigation of harmony, beats, the trumpet and analog synthesis created in order to question “what is the meaning of the trumpet anno 2023”? And if arts, music and improvisation is a mirror of todays society, then how does that translate into a ”jazz” quartet?

Shapes and colors interact in a vivid display of musical talent, while the quartet investigates and unfold the contemporary yet simple compositions of Jonas Due. The band is both a modern musical statement, and a testament to music history and culture - drawing inspiration from danish church-music, synthetic house, R&B, pop and bebop.

Jonas formed the band from a deep urge to begin anew and create something fresh that could become something surprising. He chose bandmembers who did not know each other from before, and this broadened the overall musical pallet, due to each musicians unique and unaffected flavor. The band got together for the first time in the summer of 2022 to perform a handful of concerts during Copenhagen Jazz Festival. In February 2023 the group will go on tour in Denmark and Sweden before entering the studio to record the debut album.

Consisting of four acclaimed musicians and improvisers from Finland, Sweden and Denmark.

Due har de seneste år gjort sig bemærket på den danske og internationale scene som bandleader i gruppen OTOOTO og som side man i alt fra DRs Bigband, Kresten Osgood Kvintet og til den polske punk-jazz gruppe Pimpono Ensemble.
