About danish piano player and composer Nikolaj Hess
“A delightful, reflective, almost pastoral use of light and shade. If Chopin had been born in New York and received tuition from say Bill Evans or Keith Jarrett he may have sounded like this” writes ‘Bebop spoken here’ (UK) beautifully about Nikolaj Hess.
Nikolaj Hess is one of the most inventive jazz pianists working today” (Mitch Myers Magnet Magazine)
“Gold dust. Nikolaj Hess’ fingers on the keyboard is an alchemical affair. An album with a wide range of expression, yet spiritually coherent.” (Chr Munch-Hansen Politiken)
“Danish pianist Nikolaj Hess careened between heart-melting delicacy and almost Chopinesque virtuosity. Hess is clearly equipped to face the most gargantuan technical demands, but it was the incredible fecundity of his imagination that impressed the most”(Peter Quinn Art Desk, London)
NH is a rare proposition. An internationally acclaimed virtuoso composer and performer across jazz, new classical, film scoring and electronic music.
A prodigy playing piano since the age of 3, and later violin among other instruments, he was the youngest to start at the Rhythmic Conservatory in Cph and the first to get extraordinary top-grade 13 in his main subject piano, followed by a long list of prizes and honours.
Hess’s music is characterized by a captivating Scandinavian melodiousness, inventive creativity and a deeply personal golden touch on the piano and in his compositions.
