Benjamin Koppel & The European Jazz Factory

The different nationalities and the enormous creativity of the musicians strongly affect the musical expression. The Nordic lyric tone meets the continental extrovert jazz tradition in a musical collaboration, taking European Jazz in completely new directions.

When Danish piano player Carsten Dahls variations between the poetic improvisations and free jazz energy, meets drummer Daniel Humair, who has been one of the absolute biggest Free Jazz stars in Europe for more than 40 years, you are in for a musical treat out of the ordinary.
