Triojazz med groove, swing og nerve. Det er efterhånden blevet en tradition og et tilløbsstykke, at Kwella sammen med sin trio skaber fest og stemning på Café Gemmestedet under jazzfestivalen. Trioen elsker, groove, swing og nerve, og samtidig vægtes sammenspillet, interaktionen og det uforudsigelige højt. Repertoiret er en blanding af råswingende jazzstandarder og egne groovy numre. De tre musikere er kendt fra en lang række førende orkestre og har alle flere cd-udgivelser bag sig. Kwella har udsendt seks cd’er i eget navn, og anmelderne har bl.a skrevet:Jens Christian Kwella mestrer et fit og rigt facetteret spil, og hans kompositioner afspejler en musiker med sans for både det store overblik og detaljen.
