Jacob Christoffersen

Jacob Christoffersen has always been a musician’s musician – or a pianist’s pianist – modestly preferring the background to the spotlight. However, he was already a teenage prodigy in the 1980’s as part of Gadevang Swingsters, which also included violinist Kristian Jørgensen. In the 1990’s he began collaborating with vocalist Majbritte Ulrikkeholm, and was often heard as a sideman with a large number of top Danish jazz artists, including Karsten Vogel, Jesper Thilo, Jørgen Svare, Claus Waidtløv, Lars Møller, Anders Bergcrantz, Jens Winther, Chris Minh Doky and Christian Dahl. Jacob Christoffersen is one of Denmark’s finest accompanists. He has backed many Danish vocalists, among others Cæcilie Norby, Hanne Boel, Sanne Salomonsen, Sinne Eeg and Kaya Brüel. He has been a mem- ber of the legendary Danish pop band Shu-Bi-Dua for ten years.
