Jazz Explorer Trio, featuring tenor saxophonist Lars Møller, guitarist Thor Madsen, and drummer Jonas Johansen, combines jazz heritage with a global approach to create a unique voice in the contemporary jazz scene. Their music, primarily composed by the band members, blends groovy and bluesy expressions with architectural and emotional beauty, marked by strong improvisational interplay.
India Tours
Since 2016, Jazz Explorer Trio has completed several tours in India, performing extensively and engaging with local audiences. Their tours often include concerts at jazz clubs in major cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, and New Delhi. The trio also performs for school children through the Spic Macay initiative, promoting cultural exchange and music education. They have collaborated with Indian classical musicians Kala Ramnath and Abhijit Banerjee, blending jazz with Indian raga in performances in Bangalore and Calcutta. They are planning another tour to India in the fall of 2024.
Savassi Festival
In August 2019, Jazz Explorer Trio performed at the Savassi Festival in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with special guest Letieres Leite on alto flute. This notable performance was part of a broader tour in Brazil, where they also played at Jazz Nos Fundos in Sao Paulo with the local big band Orchestra Urbana. Letieres Leite, founder of the Afro-Brazilian jazz big band Rumpilezz, added a distinctive flair to their sound during these performances.
Royal Performance with RagaJazz
In 2023, members of Jazz Explorer Trio, as part of RagaJazz, had the honor of performing for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark during their visit to India. The event, hosted by the Danish Ambassador to India in New Delhi, was a grand dinner celebrating the long-standing friendship between India and Denmark. RagaJazz played music inspired by Indian ragas and Scandinavian jazz, making the evening memorable.
