Zeuthen/Thomsen/Svejnar is a inter-European trio with Danish saxophone legend Jesper Zeuthen in front. Zeuthen is one of the most important figures on the Danish jazz scene - with his distinctive voice he has been a force of nature since the 1960s in countless groups as leader or sideman (famously the jazz-rock group Blue Sun).

He is joined by Czech drummer Jakub Svejnar and Danish bassist Asger Thomsen. Both belong to a younger generation of highly original musicians active on the experimental and improvised music scene. Together the trio meets in an open field of listening, presence and spontaneous creation, where experience and curiosity intertwine and new musical paths can emerge.

Jakub Švejnar (*1995) is a drummer based in Prague who focuses primarily on free improvisation, experimental jazz and contemporary music with a variety of groups, including Jungle Debris, Pudlax, Grandmothers Favourite, Aid Kid live, Luboš Soukup Quartet, Dust in the Groove, Prague Improvisation Orchestra etc.

He is a sought-after collaborator in the fields of alternative and experimental jazz, free improvisation, and performative and dance projects and has participated in premieres of contemporary music pieces with composers such as Petr Hora, Haštal Hapka, Michal Wróblewsky, and Elia Moretti.

Asger Thomsen is a bass player and composer living in Copenhagen, Denmark. He works primarily in the field of contemporary improvised music. With a physical, detail-oriented approach and a rich palette of sounds often strengthened by the use of unconventional extended techniques, he aims for contrast and dynamic forward motion in his music. Thomsen has established himself as a versatile improviser on the Copenhagen scene, and tours internationally. He is often working in ad hoc settings with other improvisers and with projects such as Kimbra Koil, Rhizom, Engel/Thomsen, and a solo project.
