This exclusive concert marks the first meeting of two European jazz heavyweights: pianist Jan Lundgren and double bassist Martin Wind have much in common, yet they have never stood on the same stage before.

Both were born in the late 1960s in or near Scandinavia – Jan in southern Sweden and Martin in Flensburg, just a few kilometers from the Danish border. Both studied their instruments at prestigious classical conservatories, but their decades-long careers have been primarily characterized by improvised music. Deeply rooted in the American jazz tradition, they have collaborated with a long list of legends, including Benny Golson, Johnny Griffin, Lee Konitz, and Alex Riel.

While Martin Wind moved to the USA in 1996 with a scholarship from the German government and established himself there as an educator and a fixed presence in the New York jazz scene, Jan Lundgren stayed in his Swedish homeland. There, he founded the Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival and serves as the artistic director of both the Stockholm Concert Hall and the legendary Montmartre Jazz Club in Copenhagen.

Lundgren regularly performs all over Europe, recently primarily with the Mare Nostrum Trio, where his piano playing merges ideally with the sound worlds of Sardinian trumpeter Paolo Fresu and French accordionist Richard Galliano. He regularly releases music with the Berlin label ACT Records, while Martin Wind has been releasing his albums in collaboration with Laika Records for many years.
