Norwegian jazz pianist Jan Gunnar Hoff and Estonian saxophone player Villu Veski first met in 2023, performing together at a Norwegian/Estonian wedding in Skjerstad, Northern Norway. This special rendezvous has resulted in several concerts with Hoff and Veski in Norway and Estonia. Based on their different musical background, but still many similar influences in jazz and music in general, Hoff and Veski create improvisations and interpretations with a unique duo signature. In May 2025 they decided to record music for a duo album in the beautiful Arvo Pärt Centre, Laulasmaa. The album SAGA will be released on March 17, 2026, with a concert at Steinway Hall, Oslo.
