Bestående af nogle af Danmarks mest fremtrædende unge musikere refererer Københavns banebrydende neo-jazz kvintet OTOOTO til deres innovative blanding
af jazztradition og moderne indie-pop som ‘homeshake møder jazz messengers’. Deres tredje studiealbum ‘2nd Quake’ udkommer d. 8. november på April Records.OTOOTO, der består af Jonas Due (trompet og flygelhorn), Hannes Bennich (altsaxofon og fløjte), Calle Brickman (keys), Andreas Svendsen (trommer og percussion) og Matthias Petri (bas), har været en fast del af både den danske og internationale jazzscene siden deres debut i 2021 med albummet ‘This Love Is For You’.
Deres nye udgivelse markerer et nyt kapitel i deres rejse og afspejler en modig, moden kunstnerisk vision, der lover at cementere deres plads på scenen for skandinavisk kontemporær jazz.Med inspiration fra alt lige fra 70’ernes rock og europæisk kirkemusik til de banebrydende lyde fra Jean-Michel Jarre og Vangelis, beskriver de fem musikere – ledet af trompetisten Jonas Due - selv deres lyd som "et brølende hav af analoge synths og fløjlsbløde horn". Albummet, som indeholder otte omhyggeligt komponerede originale numre, balancerer stærke mindeværdige melodier med finurlig orkestrering, en kontinuerlig følelse af groove, tæt tekstur og frygtløse, lyriske improvisationer. Et samarbejde med den elektroniske producer Sofie Birch, hvor albummet er en elektro-organisk sonisk udforskning af foreningen mellem akustiske instrumentale klange og elektronisk manipulation, anført af lyden fra den legendariske Juno 106 synth sammen med storslået jazz-inspireret musikalitet.

NOOTE: Concert starts at 20:00
Comprised of some of Denmark’s most prominent young musicians, Copenhagen’s groundbreaking neo-jazz quintet OTOOTO describes their innovative fusion of jazz tradition and modern indie-pop as “Homeshake meets the Jazz Messengers.” Their third studio album, 2nd Quake, is set for release on November 8 via April Records.
OTOOTO—featuring Jonas Due (trumpet and flugelhorn), Hannes Bennich (alto saxophone and flute), Calle Brickman (keys), Andreas Svendsen (drums and percussion), and Matthias Petri (bass)—has been a fixture on both the Danish and international jazz scenes since their 2021 debut album, This Love Is For You.
Their new release marks a bold new chapter in their journey, reflecting a mature artistic vision that promises to solidify their place in contemporary Scandinavian jazz. Drawing inspiration from ’70s rock, European church music, and the pioneering sounds of Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis, the five musicians—led by trumpeter Jonas Due—describe their sound as “a roaring sea of analog synths and velvety horns.”
The album, featuring eight meticulously crafted original compositions, balances strikingly memorable melodies with intricate orchestration, an ever-present sense of groove, rich textures, and fearless, lyrical improvisation. A collaboration with electronic producer Sofie Birch, 2nd Quake is an electro-organic sonic exploration that merges acoustic instrumental timbres with electronic manipulation—driven by the iconic Juno-106 synth and elevated by grand, jazz-inspired musicianship.
