Hein Westgaard Trio I Wärnheim / Rave / Mulder / De Joode / Jaspers

The three musicians of Hein Westgaard Trio started playing together in Copenhagen in 2017 and since then they have deepened and matured their unique form of interplay, preparing themselves for the international stage. In September 2023 they released their debut record “First as Farce” to positive reviews, and in support of the album they played a 16-concert tour with concerts in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and Germany.

Playing their very own kind of experimental music, Hein Westgaard Trio is clearly inspired by jazz, but also by country, rock, folk, free improvisation and classical music. The trio manages to translate all these elements into a unique form, where the boundary between the composed and improvised becomes blurred.
