Andreas Toftemark and Benny Benack III take the audience on a musical journey through the beautiful world of jazz. Benack is one of the most famous trumpeters and vocalists of the new generation of jazz musicians. He has worked with a wide range of jazz's biggest names and has performed at some of New York's most prestigious jazz clubs, including Birdland, Dizzy's, and Lincoln Center. He has also been recognized by Downbeat Magazine as one of jazz's new top names both as a trumpeter and vocalist.

Together with Toftemark and the rhythm section, which consists of leading musicians from New York, including Joe Peri on drums, Rasmus Sørensen on piano, and Kaisa Mäensivu on bass, the group will present the audience with an exclusive musical experience that intertwines 60s hardbop and crooner- showmanship which goes beyond the edge of the stage to such an extent.

The band has so far performed to full houses at, among others, Brighton Jazz Festival (GB), DIG Festival (FI), Termansens in Ribe, Paradise Jazz in Copenhagen, Musikhuzet Bornholm, Musikhuset Copenhagen, Utopia Jazz (SE), La Fontaine, Giant Steps Svendborg and Flensburghus (DE).

“With our endless passion for jazz, we will do everything we can to create an unforgettable experience for everyone who has the opportunity to come to one of our concerts. We look forward to presenting this international band and look forward to playing for you.” - Andreas Toftemark
