Horse Orchestra is a seven-piece ensemble of young musicians from Sweden, Norway and Denmark, and they are among the most distinctive voices on the modern Nordic jazz scene. Their music blends the sound of 1920s New Orleans with 1960s free jazz, hip hop and modern classical, producing a post-modern style that few others attempt.
Humour is as central to their performance as the instrumental virtuosity and the carefully built compositions. The result is playful and exuberant, and the band is willing to take their tonal experiments to rather extreme places, which makes for an unpredictable evening.
