Tobias Stavngaard Sextet

  • "What sets the Tobias Stavngaard Sextet apart is their meticulous attention to detail and the compositional aspects of small-group jazz music."

    Michael Westmore, review on ‘Jazz Daily’

  • "Stavngaard is on top of his material - he imparts calmness to the compositions that do not doubt or waver. He has an overview and exudes maturity."

    Niels Overgaard, review on ‘Jazznyt’

  • "The compositions are marked by intricate arrangements and a deep sense of musicality, showcasing the ensemble’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of contemporary jazz."

    Michael Westmore, review on ‘Jazz Daily’

“Historier om dette og hint” (2022)

“By the Last Man” (2023)

With two album releases in just two years, the band and I have delved into two distinct philosophical themes, weaving together a consistent thread throughout our repertoire.

The style is a refined form of contemporary jazz that places a strong emphasis on the compositional aspects of the music.

Listen to the band live from the studio

When recording “By the Last Man” we also took the time to record this live session of “The Mirage of Immortality”. Make sure to go to ‘discography’ and read more about the release of our new album.
