Instrumental jazz funk music with a scandinavian touch.
Up Above recently returned home from a succesful tour in Seoul, South Korea, where they performed in TV Shows and at the old, stunning Deoksu-Gung Palace in central Seoul. They signed autographs to screaming teenage fans and was treated like stars. Now Up Above is looking forward to perform at Aarhus Jazz Festival 2009 in their hometown, Aarhus, Denmark.
p Above was formed in the spring of 2006 on the initiative of saxophonist Samuel Hejslet. The band quickly developed its own sound, inspired by jazz fusion heroes like the Brecker Brothers, Mike Stern and Yellowjackets.
Here’s what other say about Up Above:
- ”I have heard these great young musicians, I can definitely say we will be hearing much more from them in the future”
Tom Kennedy (bass player from Dave Weckl Band, Mike Stern and many others)
- “Cool sax and groovy crew on Eastern Jutland’s (Danish Island) new jazz/funk/pop flagship, Up Above”
Nikolaj Bentzon (pianist and orchestral leader of Nikolaj Bentzon Brotherhood and the Danish Radio Big Band)
- ”Up Above makes the music come alive”
Christian Vuust (saxophone player and docent at the Royal Academy Of Music, Aarhus, Denmark)
