About John Sund

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Listening to the Beatles when I was about 7 years old and completely loving it. It took me to a different place where everything gave meaning. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Chick Corea, Three Quartets (Reissue) Reissue Miles Davis, Bitches Brew The Beatles, Revolver (2022 Mix) Well to be honest, I don't have a top 3 - I would rather say that a top 40 would be more sufficient. These three a total mind-opener for me, especially Revolver and Bitches Brew, the Three Quartets album is just a great album. I could add lots more. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “A Northern Song” This song has an almost orchestral quality, but at the same time is has 'closeness'. It's imaginative and takes the listener on a journey, which I particularly like. Using the voice as an instrument, 3D arrangements, wailing guitar are highlights etc What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? My debut with The Danish Radio Big Band as a soloist when I was 18 years old. The music was a Jazz Fusion piece by Thomas Clausen for me with Palle Mikkelborg conducting. That was like a mindblowing experience to play with these legends. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would like to collaborate with some of the great american jazz artist at one time if possible... that's one thing for sure. One day be able to write something for a symphony Orchestra is another.
