Himpel Eskildsen Duo
Meeting each other at jam-sessions, Benjamin Himpel and Simon Eskildsen quickly developed a strong musical connection - an ability to follow each others route within the tunes they where playing. Slowly the musical friendship developed, and both players started writing music for the duo.
The result - 3rd Room, showcases the compositions of both players, with a strong common language and sprinled with more free collaboration-pieces (the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Room improvs).
The record was released in 2017, and the due has played tours in Denmark and Germany since.
