Mikkel's debut album was released in 2006 and received a worldwide critical acclaim. Since then, the trio has toured Europe, Brazil and the US, playing most major jazz clubs and festivals. The trio has worked with great saxophonists like Mark Turner and Loren Stillman. Mikkel started from drums at four years but switched to the guitar in his teens. He graduated as Master of jazz guitar from the Royal Conservatory of The Hague Holland and has been living in Berlin, New York and Copenhagen. On drums is one of Denmark's most sought-after drummers Martin Andersen who has toured the world with the New Jungle Orchestra and many others. On bass is Nikolai Munch Hansen, one of the young keepers of Denmark's fine bass tradition.
