"Andreas Toftemark International Quintet Andreas Toftemark International Kvintet brings together a handful of Europe's most promising young jazz musicians for an energetic meeting across national borders.

At the helm is saxophonist and composer Andreas Toftemark, who, with a number of releases and excellent reviews in recent years, has established himself as one of the country's leading young saxophonists.

Andreas Toftemark's original compositions provide the framework for the quintet's sound.

American Noah Halpern (trumpet) won the prestigious ITG Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet Competition in 2023 and has played with, among others, Wynton Marsalis and Jason Moran since completing his studies at The Juilliard School in New York.

Danish Rasmus Sørensen (piano) has established himself as one of Denmark's most sought-after pianists.

He has released several acclaimed albums, including Balancing Act and At The Right Time, and received the Ben Webster Prize in 2025.

Swedish Jon Henrikson (bass), born in Gothenburg and now based in Stockholm, has a strong personal voice on the double bass and a firmly established place on the Swedish jazz scene.

Spanish Andreu Pitarch Mach (drums) has roots in Barcelona and trained at the Manhattan School of Music.

He is known for his attentive, detailed playing and masters the balance between powerful groove and subtle improvisation.

Together, the five musicians create contemporary, melodic jazz that makes room for both tightly composed material and improvisation." www.paradisejazz.dk
