Bugge Wesseltoft and Mark Wastell

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” an old adage that can be both positive and negative for a person, and in the case of Bugge Wesseltoft, he took after his dad to become a successful jazz musician. The piano playing jazz musician seems as quirky as his music, almost making a new sort of subgenre of jazz, no doubt that it is unique. He works and performs solo, but also participates in a lot of collaborations, which results in the making of epic new jazz pieces that are always different. The art of jazz allows the music to remain unique. No show is exactly the same as the one before that or the one after that. What sets Bugge apart is his use of electronic tracks, which are the only thing that remain consistent from show to show. He then builds upon those tracks with his instrumental talents to make each show an individual. The shows are extremely lively, and everyone is dancing, or at least moving their head along with the music. The uncontrollable urge to dance is only influenced by the fact that the transitions between songs are super smooth so it seems like it is just one very long, very fun dance party.
