SCRAM - An organic mix of jazz classics and modern composers - now they go to Africa! The two danes Anders Banke and Martin Andersen created this amazing quartet together with the Norwegian Gunnar Halle and the Swedish Thommy Andersson In 2015. 15 years of touring together as members of the renowned New Jungle Orquestra saw the four musicians creating their own group - SCRAM, in its beginnings playing mostly classic two horn arrangements of well known material and originals.

Now they embark on their new project: SCRAM! & Dawda Jobarteh.

They have added the virtuous kora of Dawda Jobarteh, a Gambian- born musician based in Denmark, who has established himself with
his own albums and tours of Europe and Africa.

The music is danceable and groovy, and leaves ample space for improvisation and inspirations of jazz and Afro-Scandinavian folklore.

Their first album was released in spring of 2020 and they presented their new music in Scandinavia and Europe in spring
and summer 2020.

The 4 musicians of SCRAM have among them they have an impressive joint curriculum. They have worked with “who is who” in Scandinavian jazz and have more than 300 albums to their credit. Together they have toured and recorded extensively together for the past 18 years as members of the New Jungle Orchestra. Rehearsing in the dressing rooms of concert halls around the world they found their own repertoire and interpretations of Fats Waller and Ornette Coleman classics mixing with their own songs.

Line-up:

Anders Banke - sax
Dawda Jobarteh - kora
Gunnar Halle - trumpet
Thommy Andersson - bass
Martin Maretti Andersen - drums
