About Helical.

The Chris Stover Niels Præstholm Helical is the latest collaboration between US-born, Australian-based trombonist and composer Chris Stover and Danish bassist and composer Niels Præstholm, building on many years of cutting-edge work they have pursued both together and individually.

The quartet—also featuring Erik Kimestad on trumpet and Chris Falkenberg on drums— explores a wide range of improvisational approaches. These are grounded in the rotation of musical material through time and space, evoking the “helix” suggested by the band’s name and giving rise to new musical connections.
