Little North (DK) feat. Reinier Baas (NL) & Hannes Bennich (SE)

Crossing Currents is Little North’s upcoming album on the renowned German label ACT Music
and marks a new chapter for the Danish trio. With six albums released since 2020, Little North
has established itself as a distinctive and independent voice on the European jazz scene.

Little North works first and foremost as a collective. All members are composers and draw
inspiration from a wide spectrum of genres and musical traditions. Curiosity, both shared and
individual, is the driving force, and each album explores its own musical territory.

Crossing Currents was created in New York in a meeting between the trio, vibraphonist Joel
Ross (US), and saxophonist Hannes Bennich (SE). Little North’s Nordic sound and poetic
precision merge with the energy of the international jazz scene, resulting in an open and
contemporary expression where musical currents from Copenhagen, New York, and Malmö
meet.

Live, the music gains a new dimension through vibrant interplay with the Dutch guitarist Reinier
Baas (NL). Reinier Baas is one of Europe’s most original guitar voices and is known for his
rhythmic mastery and melodic inventiveness. Together with Hannes Bennich, the material is
continuously developed in the moment, taking new forms from concert to concert.

For the audience, this means a concert experience that cannot be heard on the album. The music
is created in the moment in the meeting between the musicians, the space, and the listeners and
builds bridges between the Danish and international jazz scenes.
