about

One of the new waves in Nordic jazz is the reinvention of the piano trio.
Quite a few takes on this well proven musical concept has emerged in the last few years, but none of them with the sublime refined rawness of Little North.

The three mysteriously mature musicians, pianist Benjamin Nørholm Jacobsen, bassist Martin Brunbjerg Rasmussen and drummer Lasse Jacobsen, have, in spite of their relatively young age and their relatively short careers, conjured up an expressive and alluring artistic manifestation of beauty and almost holistic perfection, in their collective musical exertions, where equilibristic improvisational passages interchange with strictly arranged movements.

Little North are in many ways carrying the legacy of Jan Johansson, the Swedish godfather of Nordic piano jazz concurrently adding their own very elegant touch, which makes this, their new album, an important contribution to the new wave of the tidal jazz currents, placing them right up there with the massively popular Svaneborg Kardyb and Bremer/McCoy.

In 2016 Little North released their first album ‘Yonder’ produced by Jonathan Bremer (of Bremer/McCoy) and the band’s drummer, Lasse Jacobsen, released the album ‘A Painted Beginning’ in 2018 with a quintet in his own name. In 2019 Little North placed 2nd in the national competition for young talented jazz bands in Denmark.

Little North’s new album was recorded live at Jazzhus Montmartre, Copenhagen, June 2019.
