Late Late Show with Clapper

Line-up: JEPPE LAVSEN – guitarMALTHE JEPSEN – keysADRIAN CHRISTENSEN – bassFREDERIK BÜLOW – drums

A Ronnie Scott's debut for this new group from Denmark. Clapper are leading figures in modern European beat-driven jazz, who blend deep-pocket beats, improvisation and classic soul.

Hailing from Aarhus, Denmark, the quartet blend classic soul and fusion jazz with the wonk, swing, and groove of modern instrumental hip-hop. With a sound rooted equally in rhythmic precision and melodic freedom, Clapper have become known for neck-snapping switch-ups, deep-pocket beats, and an intuitive sense of collective improvisation.

Since the release of their debut album On Tempo, Clapper have built a reputation as one of the most vital voices on the Scandinavian jazz-adjacent scene. The album introduced a band equally comfortable with laid-back groove and high-energy fusion workouts, driven by strong themes and playful musicianship.Clapper consists of Frederik Emil Bülow (drums), Adrian Christensen (bass), Jeppe Lavsen (guitar), and Malthe Jepsen (piano & Rhodes) - all well-known figures within the young Danish jazz movement. Beyond Clapper, the members are involved in a wide range of acclaimed projects including Abekejser, Hvalfugl, and İpek Yolu, contributing to the cross-pollination of jazz, beats, and contemporary instrumental music in Denmark.
