ANE TROLLE & NIKOLAJ HESS MØDES TIL KONCERT MED IMPRO, JAZZ, OG HESS CLASSICS

Pianist Nikolaj Hess og vokalist Ane Trolle er begge pionerer inden for hver deres felt på den rige og eksperimenterende danske scene for jazz og improvisation. I mere end 15 år har de kredset om hinanden som individuelle artister i forskellige grupper og konstellationer. Nu mødes de på scenen med et band til lejligheden,i et åbent og indbydende rum, hvor der er plads til at lege med både hinanden, situationen og publikum.

Som pianist, komponist, producer, kunstnerisk leder og underviser har Nikolaj Hess sat sit ubetingede præg på dansk såvel som international jazz og cross-over klassisk musik. Hans kompositioner, arrangementer og improvisationer omfatter både soloklaver og konstellationer fra duoer til tentetter, filmmusik, klassiske ensembler, symfoniorkestre og kor. Hess har et stærkt tilhørsforhold til NYC, hvor han blandt andre arbejder sammen med rytmegruppen Tony Scherr og Kenny Wollesen, og saxofonisten Marc Mommaas. Desuden er han kendt for at samarbejde med sine brødre, saxofonisten Emil Hess, og Mikkel Hess, især i orkestrene 3xHess, Spacelab og det elektroniske projekt Hess Is More. Senest har Nikolaj Hess gjort sig bemærket med sit kunstneriske researchprojekt Transformative Reflections, der kredser om at oversætte kunstneriske praksisser fra et felt til et andet – nærmere bestemt fra billedkunst til jazz og improvisation.

Vokalist Ane Trolle har med al tydelighed slået sit navn og sin helt særlige stemme fast i genrebøjende danske musikprojekter som Balstyrko, Trolle//Siebenhaar, JaConfetti og Diamond Mouth. Hvad enten hun synger på dansk eller engelsk, sætter hendes vokal altid lytteren i en henført, nærmest hypnotiseret tilstand. I 2012 udgav hun sit debutalbum som solo-sanger og sangskriver, Honest Wall, der høstede stor ros fra både den danske og internationale skare af musikkritikere. Ane Trolle er dog imidlertid også eminent til at improvisere både sprogligt og melodisk.

Sammen vil Ane Trolle og Nikolaj Hess tage afsæt i deres seneste improviserede duo koncerter. Deres samarbejde er en vedvarende, musikalsk dialog, som vil blive videreført, hver gang de mødes på ny. Men musikerne vil også trække på deres personlige bagkataloger, og komme med nyfortolkninger af og improvisationer over mere velkendt materiale.

Koncerten vil blive en alsidig oplevelse, der svinger fra det jazzede og folkede til det poppede, mellem det flydende og det fragmenterede, og mellem kendte og ukendte lydlandskaber. Ane Trolle og Nikolaj Hess special vil både give publikum et indblik i hver deres aktuelle, kreative ståsteder, og sammen skabe et undersøgende projektrum, der kan levere ny inspiration til dem hver især.

ANE TROLLE & NIKOLAJ HESS UNITE FOR A CONCERT OF IMPROV, JAZZ, AND HESS CLASSICS

Pianist Nikolaj Hess and vocalist Ane Trolle are both pioneers in their respective fields on the rich and experimental Danish jazz and improvisation scene. For more than 15 years, they have circled around each other as individual artists in various groups and constellations. Now, they come together on stage with a band formed for the occasion—in an open and welcoming space where there's room to play with each other, the moment, and the audience.

As a pianist, composer, producer, artistic director, and educator, Nikolaj Hess has left a significant mark on both Danish and international jazz, as well as crossover classical music. His compositions, arrangements, and improvisations span everything from solo piano to ensembles ranging from duos to tentets, film scores, classical groups, symphony orchestras, and choirs. Hess has a strong connection to NYC, where he works with, among others, the rhythm section of Tony Scherr and Kenny Wollesen, and saxophonist Marc Mommaas. He is also well known for his collaborations with his brothers, saxophonist Emil Hess and Mikkel Hess, particularly in ensembles like 3xHess, Spacelab, and the electronic project Hess Is More. Most recently, Nikolaj Hess has drawn attention with his artistic research project Transformative Reflections, which explores translating artistic practices from one field to another—specifically from visual art to jazz and improvisation.

Vocalist Ane Trolle has firmly established her name and distinctive voice in genre-bending Danish music projects such as Balstyrko, Trolle//Siebenhaar, JaConfetti, and Diamond Mouth. Whether singing in Danish or English, her vocals always transport the listener into a captivated, almost hypnotic state. In 2012, she released her debut album as a solo singer and songwriter, Honest Wall, which received widespread praise from both Danish and international music critics. Ane Trolle also excels in improvising—both lyrically and melodically.

Together, Ane Trolle and Nikolaj Hess will build upon their recent improvised duo concerts. Their collaboration is an ongoing musical dialogue that continues to evolve every time they perform together. The musicians will also draw on their personal catalogs, offering reinterpretations and improvisations over more familiar material.

The concert promises to be a diverse experience, flowing between jazz and folk influences to more pop-oriented sounds, between the fluid and the fragmented, and across known and unknown sonic landscapes. The Ane Trolle and Nikolaj Hess special will give the audience insight into each artist’s current creative outlook, while jointly creating an exploratory project space that offers new inspiration for them both.
