Impro Jazz: Cort Lund feat. Casper Hejlesen
Paradisæblevej 23, 2500 Valby
For the first time jazz duo Cort Lunde will meet Casper Hejlesen for a improvised jazz session. Impro Jazz is a concert format that explores the potential of improvisation through a simple premise: a jazz duo invite a third musician they are curious to collaborate with. The choice is open – it may be a fellow jazz artist they haven’t played with before or someone from a different musical tradition or genre. Each concert serves as a temporary platform for artistic exchange.

ABOUT CORT LUNDE
Thomas Cortes and Erik Lunde blend jazz, electronica, and classical sound art into a richly textured, meditative sonic universe. With sold-out shows, an international tour, and Album of the Week on DR P8Jazz, they create musical interpretations of both nature and culture, while playfully reimagining the jazz duo format.
Over the past two years, Cort Lunde has collaborated with some of Denmark’s leading museums, sold out concerts at the Thorvaldsen Museum during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival, composed music for a documentary nominated at the Alpinale Film Festival, and been named Album of the Week on DR P8Jazz. They have received multiple grants from the Danish Arts Foundation, toured nationally and internationally, held a release concert at the legendary Jazzhus Montmartre, and performed at Designmuseum Denmark’s event for Hollywood stars such as Lily Collins and Ted Danson — both of whom purchased their albums.
ABOUT CASPER HEJLESEN
Casper Hejlesen is a young, award-winning jazz guitarist and composer from Poulstrup, near Hjørring in Northern Denmark. Before turning 21, he had already received three prestigious awards. In the autumn of 2019, he was named Jazz Artist of the Year in Northern Jutland, and earlier that same year, he received The Piano Tuner’s Music Prize. In 2017, he was also awarded Spar Nord Hjørring’s Cultural Prize.
Casper is deeply passionate about both the classic and modern American jazz traditions, while remaining firmly rooted in his native Jutland. The contrast between the intensity of American bebop and the meditative landscapes of his upbringing is clearly reflected in his rich, mature, and well-balanced compositions.
