Simon Gorm Eskildsen (piano) is an award-winning Danish jazz pianist and composer known for his attentive listening, playful musical approach and inventive sense of groove. His music combines lyrical melodies, unexpected harmonic turns and a strong rhythmic drive, all coloured by his subtle sense of humour. These qualities come together in his latest release Me Time – a solo piano album that draws on tradition while exploring a contemporary musical language of its own.

Alongside his solo work and collaborations as a sideman, he leads Born2Bingo, a funky, groove-based organ-and-drums duo with drummer Daniel Sommer. The duo has also created and illustrated their own comic adventure book, extending the playful world of Born2Bingo beyond their music.

Being fluent in both rhythmic and classical traditions, he moves effortlessly between double bass, electric bass and synthesizers. Projects such as the electronic jazz group Abekejser and the instrumental jazz/beat group Clapper are central to his musical expression, but his compositional identity reaches far beyond them. His explorations in chamber music reveal another side of his musicality, which he combines with his groove-driven roots to create music that feels both complex and simple, exciting and beautiful.

Bringing his own sketches and ideas to each project, Daniel develops the music together with the other musicians, allowing it to evolve in unforeseen ways. Through his work as a bandleader, composer and collaborator, Daniel contributes to the ever-evolving landscape of Danish and Scandinavian jazz, fluently navigating between open-ended improvisation, contemporary and traditional jazz.
