Jens Bunge

Born: September 24, 1963

„We must welcome Jens Bunge to the growing ranks of chromatic harmonica players in jazz.(…) Jens has a round tone and technique, supported by musicianship. Good luck, the road is not easy but you’ve got the conviction and the equipment.“

(Jean “Toots” Thielemans)

Jens Bunge was born in 1963. At the age of 18, he began to play the chromatic harmonica. Influenced by the recordings of Belgium harmonica player Jean Toots Thielemans, he soon found his passion for jazz.

In the mid 1980’s he began to perform with local big bands and jazz groups, receiving more and more acknowledgement for his melodic improvisation style.
