Sun Ark
Jazz / Electronic / Experimental
Five-piece band formed at the Jazz Institut Berlin, weaving electronic, hip-hop, Brazilian and jazz influences into an orchestral sound.
Sun Ark unites five musicians from Germany, Sweden and Denmark who met at the renowned Jazz Institut Berlin. Around founder and composer Johannes Mann (guitar) gather Asger Nissen (alto saxophone), Povel Widestrand (piano, Fender Rhodes, synthesizers), Thorbjörn Stefansson (double bass), Marius Wankel (drums) and Bene Jäckle (flute). Their self-titled debut, released on XJAZZ! Music in 2024, weaves electronic, hip-hop, Brazilian and jazz influences into a lush, colourful and orchestral sound. Mann describes it as "exploring a landscape" — a sonic story in which beat-driven grooves drift from composed pieces into skilful ambient passages and collective improvisation.
