Mitch Myers fra hæderkronede Magnet Magazine og Down Beat skrev om Nikolaj Hess og Spacelab: “Simply put, these guys are the best piano trio in Denmark, and Nikolaj Hess is one of the most inventive jazz pianists working today”.

Kom, lyt og dyk ned i Spacelab’s univers af smukke melodier, medrivende, tranceskabende grooves og unikke personlige sound.

Trioen Spacelab - Hess/ AC/ Hess har spillet sammen siden ungdomsårene, og det er uklart, hvornår den tog egentlig form. Man kan tydeligt mærke den lange fælles historie på den nærmest telepatiske kommunikation, de tre musikere har, når de udfører egne såvel som fortolker andres kompositioner.

De tre musikere har gennem deres lange historie sammen en kæmpe fælles reference, men også hver især spændende individuelle retninger i deres musikalske løbebaner.
