Brewed on the Danish island of Funen and then left to age for several years, the self-titled debut Andorra (Nov 12th) is a modern day vintage, fusing intricate jazz with deep grooves, cinematic effects and an exuberant attitude.

It’s often said that the biggest gift of music school education is not the inspirational teachers or the world-class facilities, but the meeting of your future lifelong colleagues.

This is perhaps particularly evident in the debut release by Danish Indie-Jazz group Andorra.

The five musicians met and developed as students at the Funen Music Conservatory in Odense, before setting off in different directions.

Award-winning trumpeter Mads La Cour has forged a sound with his own groups, as has Simon Krebs on guitar. Pianist Peter Kohlmetz Møller has played a key role in genre-twisting collective The Eclectic Moniker, whilst Nikolaj Bundvig on drums and Morten Jørgensen on bass have established themselves as in-demand members of groups including Blue Foundation and Søren Huss respectively.
