SVANEBORG KARDYB


Svaneborg Kardyb are Nikolaj Svaneborg - Wurlitzer, Juno, piano and Jonas
Kardyb - drums, percussion a multi award winning duo from Denmark, where
they won two “grammys” at the Danish Music Awards Jazz 2019: New artist of
the year and Composer of the year. Drawing on Danish folk music and
Scandinavian jazz influences, their music is an exquisite and joyful
melding of beautiful melodies, delicate minimalism, catchy grooves, subtle
electronica vibes, Nordic atmospheres and organic interplay, all
underwritten by the sheer joy of playing together. “We started in the
earliest of mornings over the blackest of coffee, sometimes even without
talking, just music. Immediately we felt a connection between our personal
style of playing and the compositions emerged like out of nowhere. The vibe
from these early sessions is still the backbone of our little band”.



VEGA TRAILS


Vega Trails is the expansive, cinematic, chamber-jazz project from
double-bassist and composer Milo Fitzpatrick, a founder member of Portico
Quartet and features saxophonist Jordan Smart (Mammal Hands, Sunda Arc).

Having cut 2022’s beautifully resonant debut album ‘Tremors in the Static’
as a duo, Milo now substantially expands upon that blueprint with his
follow-up, ‘Sierra Tracks’, which, as the title suggests, was conceived at
his new home in the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains
north-west of Madrid.


From the epic five-minute opener, ‘Largo’, onwards, there’s a cinematic
feel to ‘Sierra Tracks’, as each piece unfolds according to its own
sweeping narrative, often wonderfully evocative of the mountains’ wide-open
spaces, and also sometimes elaborately arranged with cello, orchestral
strings, vibraphone and piano, to evoke their awe-inspiring natural
splendour. ‘Reverie’ has a refrain that fades in and out, like a daydream”.
‘Els’ is more firmly rooted in folk melody, while ‘Dream House’ and
‘Sleepwalk Tokyo’ boost a sense of otherworldliness.
