As with their Scandinavian jazz cousins, Modern Vikings play music with a strong emphasis on melody with the added grooves, urgency and colours of the American jazz tradition. Drummer/composer Stephen Henderson leads a stellar line-up featuring Fergus McCreadie (piano), Graeme Stephen(guitar), Konrad Wiszniewski (saxophone) and David Bowden(bass). The band's music reflects Henderson's many influences and experiences from the beginning of his musical upbringing to present, creating a fresh sound that is unique, bold and emotive.
