Blending melancholic poetry with raw energy, Red Gazelle Trio has become a defining voice in Nordic jazz. Led by guitarist and composer Kristoffer Vejslev, with Peter Price (bass) and Simon Forchhammer (drums), the trio is known for its lyrical melodies, cinematic soundscapes, and intuitive interplay, developed through years of playing together.
Following their critically acclaimed albums Udkig (2018) and In The Midst Of It All (2021), they now present On A Human Level (2025)—a record that expands their sonic universe with the addition of saxophonist Ned Ferm and trumpeter Jakob Sørensen, exploring themes of life, death, love, and transformation.
Described by Politiken as "quietly and gently immersive," Red Gazelle Trio’s sound unfolds like a journey—one moment drawing listeners into atmospheric landscapes, the next surging with bold, expressive energy. Their music balances melodic clarity with free-flowing improvisation, shifting between introspective calm and dynamic interplay.
With extensive international press coverage and radio play, as well as performances across Denmark, Red Gazelle Trio continues to push the boundaries of Nordic jazz, crafting music that is as expansive as it is intimate.
