Jeppe Zacho - Introducing Jeppe Zacho

Zacho has been on the Danish music scene for many years and performs in groups such as Jazz Five, The Counterfictionals, Jack Street, and various Big Bands. On his debut album, the experienced musician and composer assembles his dream quintet for the first time to delve into his own compositions.

Described in the liner notes as "modern jazz the old fashioned way", the record has a tone that is forward-thinking and fresh while retaining the raw energy and live excitement of all the timeless jazz records that jazz fans grew up with.

Through his writing, Zacho showcases the different facets that make up his musical and personal identity: a piece dedicated to a formative teacher, an ode to his beloved, a composition that reflects his love for Cuba and its rich musical culture, and a tribute to a classic Soul/Funk song from 1970 makes up the quintet's varied repertoire.
