Founded by a group of talents from Aarhus’ creative music scene and led by the brilliant saxophonist Maria Dybbroe, Caktus has gained a lot of attention with airplay on Danish Radio and concerts on several jazz festivals. The quintet is rooted in an acoustic chamber music feeling, but with an ability to move into bold experiments, wild improvisations and heavy grooves, embracing the fragile as well as the powerful. In September they will release their debut album, and we’re delighted that they have decided to throw a grand release party at ALICE. Of course you can hear a concert by Caktus, but the band has also invited two other great artists, the legendary outertainer TS Høeg and the exciting ambient musician Merdh Laleh.
