ALEX JØNSSON TRIO

"I’m not sure what it is with these young Danes but for me they are hitting the sweet spot at the moment” – thejazzbreakfast (UK)

An impressive seven Danish Music Awards nominations is what the young, Danish guitarist Alex Jønsson already has behind him. Now the acclaimed guitarist and his trio is out with a new album, “Heart of Gold”, capturing the intimacy of a living room concert, recorded in spring 2016.
Along with Jens Mikkel Madsen on double bass and Andreas Skamby on drums, Jønsson creates an intimate musical universe, which effortlessly sneaks up on the listener.
With atmospheric compositions, free floating progressions and collective improvisations, they are off on a mission – together – listening out for scratches, rhythms and reactions that can lead them on to something bigger.
Since the release of their album, ”Spy On Your Friends”, in 2015, the trio has toured Denmark as well as the Nordic and Baltic countries – making a deep impression on both audience and critics at home and abroad.

MIRJA KLIPPEL (FI)

Songwriter of the Year – that’s the name of the prestigious price the jury of Danish Music Awards Folk 2016 chose to give to the young Finnish singer and songwriter Mirja Klippel. Klippel, who lives in Copenhagen, was granted the award based on her debut EP Lift Your Lion, where she plays with the recognized Danish guitarist Alex Jønsson.
Klippel sings of love, war and longing; of blood ties and grandfathers fighting each for their own country. Of the forests, lakes and animals. She sings of nomad life and compassion – and of never completely belonging anywhere. The texts are a string of intense and at times held back feelings, that explode when Klippel’s deep, longing voice and Spanish guitar meet Jønsson’s falsetto and freely phrasing electric guitar.
Together they create a crackling musical universe that is in constant movement. Like northern lights, that on one moment seem as sharp as a razor, and, the next second, flutter and flicker into unforeseen formations. Open chord progressions, free solo guitar parts and catchy melodies send the innermost thoughts and feelings soaring up to the sky.
Klippel’s music is a flare – poetic and personal songs, that light up even the deepest of forests and darkest of souls.
