Anne Mette has performed her music with different size groups, and the Quartet is now her primary focus. Consisting of saxplayer John Ellis, pianist Danny Grissett and drummer Otis Brown III it includes some of the most sought-after young musicians on the jazz scene today; and the Quartet's debut-album "This Is My House" (Okapi, May 2006) as well as their live-performances has received high praise from critics and audiences.

Best of the West is a collaboration between AMI Quartet and the Danish string quartet 4Corners. On commision from 4Corners Anne Mette wrote the jazz-suite "Best of the West" in 4 movements: East, South, West and North, which expresses a variety in feeling and emotion that bring into attention the multifaceted world we live in; one which requires open-mindedness and a focus on comminucation between cultures as a central ingredient in our lives.
This theme is underlined in the music particularly in that the string-quartet and the jazz-quartet maintain their identity and individuality throughout the piece. Unlike most meetings of jazz and classical music, where one style performs a subservient role, or both styles are diluted beyond recognition, "Best of the West" manages to present each group and style at it's most compelling, while illustrating the beauty of the interactive process and the mutual support.

Released the CD "På den anden side/On the Other Side" in 2004 and has since toured Denmark with great succes. The music is written to Danish poetry, sung in Danish and accompanied by jazz quintet and string quartet.
This project is modern Danish vocal jazz with very lyrical and sophisticated songs, and showcases Anne Mette's ability to capture and further transform the essence in the poems, both in the melodic material and in the intricate compositions and arrangements. Go to Sound and listen for yourself.

The Trio is available for functions, whether it's bar, restaurant, wedding, reception or corporate. We have satisfied many major companies performing at their events, and among the more exiting ones are the performances we do at the tallship "Danmark" whenever they guest the US east coast.
