MUSIC IS NOWHERE - MUSIC IS NOW HERE
Henrik Andersen & THE JAZZ REBELS
“The jazz rebels” is a concert song from 35 years ago, from today, from tomorrow.
From blues to jazz, from Indian sounds to funky grooves, from rap to operetta...
TRILOK GURTU
"I take great pride in seeing Indian music influence a variety of genres, from jazz to rock. I truly appreciate Hendrix's approach "
Comment from YouTube fan
“I never quite heard anything like this, and I've listened quite widely from Bismillah Khan to McLaughlin to Charlie Byrd to Polar Bear to Gwilym Symcock to everything in between. I know the individual ideas here (in the music), they don't surprise me. But your creative flare is unique. Your composition is refreshing. The performance is also masterful”

THE SHAPE OF SOUND Theatre, music & dance
"In the beginning there was only the empty space, just like a blank canvas, who can explain that? The silence and suddenly the music..."
This is how the performance opens and reflects on the meaning of art and artistic life. The Danish musician Henrik Andersens in between autobiography and allegorical narration brings the love relationship to the stage most tortuous and irresistible: the relationship with one's vocation. Henrik, omniscient narrator and refined storyteller, evokes the appearance of one's own visions. Until talking with the last of the transfigured characters to ask her "What is art?"

STAGE REVIEWS
"I haven't experienced anything like this since Peter Bastian. I can strongly recommended this. Saw them this evening. Brave, moving, funny, thought provoking and important. Top level"
TEATER CENTRUM: We got the story of a musician's transformation from beginner to master, and along the way the audience also got an inspiring introduction to the diversity of music and how we can always discover new layers in it. It was both dance and music at a very high technical level.
