Horse Orchestra is a very special band on the modern Nordic jazz scene. The band members succeed in
combining parts of the history of jazz with modern barrier-breaking musical experiments. In Horse
Orchestra's universe classical 1920s New Orleans meet 1960s freejazz as well as hiphop and modern
classical music, and it all ends up in an original, post-modern style that has no equivalent on the
Nordic jazz scene.
Horse Orchestra consists of seven young musicians from Iceland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, and the
band is a testimony to a new generation of musicians who master their musical historical legacy and try to
help modern jazz music reach new heights.
For Horse Orchestra humor is just as important an element as
the instrumental equilibrism and the compelling compositions. In this way, the humorous and flourishing
music is so infectious that you happily engage with the orchestra's occasionally extreme tonal experiments.
Horse Orchestra has performed in Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Germany, England, Serbia, Hong Kong, China and South Korea.
The band consists of:
Erik Kimestad Pedersen, trumpet
Ingimar Andersen, saxophones
Petter Hängsel, trombone
Kristian Tangvik, tuba
Jeppe Zeeberg, piano
Nicolai Kaas Claesson, bass
Rune Lohse, drums
Here is a whole lot of press related stuff. So much fun.
The music can be bought through Bandcamp, iTunes or by dropping a line to horseorchestra@gmail.com
