Mathias Heise Quadrillion

“Grab Mathias Heise before he goes to NY to become a star”.

“The band is playing impressively tight”.

“A shining star in the fusion sky”. ____

Rob Mallows (London Jazz News) reviewed MHQ's album launch show at The Spice of Life London, July 2017:

"Showcasing their sophomore release ‘Decadence’, Denmark’s MHQ demonstrated why this band is ripe for solid musical growth over the next few years in a crowded market place of ‘next big things’. Heise and co. demonstrated with their whip-crack group playing and high energy mix of funk, fusion, rock and jazz - what they’re calling FuRoJazz - that they can reach a broad base of jazz consumers. Fresh-faced and with boundless energy, and appealing to the young crossover crowd as well as hardcore jazz-fusion fans, MHQ have the feel of a group destined for bigger stages across Europe in coming years."

Ian Patterson (All About Jazz) reviewed MHQ's live performance at Penang Island Jazz Festival 2016:

"A select few musicians with harmonica as their primary instrument hold a place in the jazz hall of fame. Mathias Heise may not be a name familiar to many jazz fans as yet, but the twenty three-year-old Danish harmonica player is a fast-rising star seemingly destined for great things.

Heise's appropriately titled debut album, Sudden Ascent, is an impressive calling card and formed the guts of this PIJF performance. What sets Heise apart from most harmonica players is his style of music. Heise, along with Guitarist Mads Christiansen, electric bassist David Vang and drummer Aksel Stadel Borum plied a form of jazz- fusion, one defined by its melodic and harmonic sensibility and its accessible grooves.

Mathias Heise Quadrillion's fine performance at PIJF demonstrated that jazz- fusion can be accessible and ambitious at the same time. A band seemingly going places."
