Bliss Quintet

The Brief

Dramatic energetic ballads, fanfare-like horn riffs, complex rhythms, and open harmonic landscapes are central themes of Bliss Quintet. Still well-kept and maintained in the band’s sound with a focus on playful interplay, wild energetic presence, and elements of free play that follow in the footsteps of renowned Nordic bands like Atomic and Masqualero. After the release of their second album Glasshouse in 2023 on Jazzland Recordings, they have actively toured and performed at clubs and festivals such as Jazzwoche Burghausen, Jazzclub Ferrara, Moldejazz, and Jazzahead. Line-up: Oscar Andreas Haug – trumpet Zakarias Meyer Øverli – saxophone Benjamín Gísli Einarsson – piano Gard Kronborg – bass Rino Sivathas – drums
