Koller has recorded and toured with Europe's leading big bands such as the NDR in Hamburg\, and the WDR in Cologne. Koller is also the last musician to have recorded with the legendary soprano player Steve Lacy.\n\nKoller and Speake both worked with bassist Anders Christensen during his 10 year stay in London. Copenhagen-based Christensen has toured and recorded with countless jazz legends\, most worth mentioning would be his 12 years touring and recording with Paul Motian.\n\nChristensen and Mogensen have worked together as a celebrated Danish rhythm team throughout the years\, and have been part of some of the most groundbreaking bands on the vibrant jazz scene in Scandinavia. Mogensen is a busy sideman touring and recording with Jerry Bergonzi\, Tim Hagans and Walt Weiskopf among many others. This international quartet is testament to the vibrancy\, beauty\, and imagination of jazz old and new.\n\nListen to our recording: Universal Language - Music is composed by Martin Speake\n\n \n\n[embed]https://youtu.be/uy73ZNkKhJw[/embed]\n\n \nCOVID INFORMATION FOR AUDIENCE MEMBERS – PLEASE READ\nWelcome to the Vortex.
