Arild Anderson, Rob Luft, and Daniel Sommer comprise a world-class trio that bridges generations in an innovative and spontaneous musical encounter. With a shared sense of aesthetics and sound, they explore how their diverse backgrounds merge into a unified expression. The trio are a must-see act on the European jazz scene. I will be looking after Tour Management for the group for these dates:
- June 9, 2026: Watermill Jazz Club, Dorking
- June 10, 2026: PizzaExpress Live (Holborn), London

Danish drummer Daniel Sommer met Norwegian bass legend Arild Andersen in Oslo, where they played as a duo and discussed music and improvisation. Eager to expand the collaboration, Andersen suggested British guitarist Rob Luft as the third member thus, the trio was born!
In March 2023, they came together in Denmark for the first time, performing and recording what would become this remarkable debut album.
Dedicated to evolving the Nordic sound in a contemporary context, the trio blends original compositions with structured improvisation, forging deeper connections across European jazz scenes.
The trio will be performing music from their new album ‘As Time Passes’.
