SOME QUOTES FROM THE PRESS:
"Stefan Pasborg is one of the recent years' most popular Danish drummers. He has shown his diversity in taste and musical approach, and this triple CD release seems only reasonable....it is almost frighteningly good. The trip through the Laptop has not detracted from the essential quality of Pasborg's drums...Over all, the set is a fantastic manifestation...and it is a perfect CV for the young drummer and proof of his sparkling talent" - JazzSpecial Magazine, May 2007
Pasborg is extremely attentive towards the tonal dimensions of the drums, and he's displaying a big musicality covering zones from abstract drumming to intense tribal grooves. A real discovery!” – Jazz Man Magazine, France.
“This is a most adventurous collection of solos, duos and trios featuring the dynamic drumming of Stefan Pasborg. He is a most ambitious and creative drummer and here he has put together a fascinating project with his drums at the center. Considering that this is a triple disc, it is pretty amazing throughout!” - Downtown Music Gallery, USA.

INTERVIEW w/ ALEX RIEL & STEFAN PASBORG (in Danish!):
STEFAN PASBORG is a highly energetic drummer from the melting pot of Copenhagen, and after getting a snare drum, a cymbal and a high-hat at the age of three from renowned jazz drummer Alex Riel, he has developed into a very personal musician on the European jazz scene.
He graduated from the soloist line at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in 2002. He has become known on the European jazz scene as a highly personal drummer as well as a composer and bandleader, and has become especially well known for his work within the more experimental jazz music. He has performed and recorded with a number of internationally renowned musicians, including guitarist Marc Ducret, trumpetplayer Tomasz Stanko, trombonist Ray Anderson, and saxophonists Ellery Eskelin, John Tchicai, Jesper Zeuthen and Lotte Anker.
At the present time, he plays regularly with:
IBRAHIM ELECTRIC w/ Niclas Knudsen and Jeppe Tuxen DELIRIUM w/ Kasper Tranberg, MIkko Innanen and Jonas Westergaard MEGAPHONE w/ Liudas Mockunas, Marc Ducret and Paul Brousseau ICTUS w/ Lotte Anker, Marc Ducret and Peter Friis-NIelsen RØD PLANET w/ Liudas Mockunas and Jakob Riis FRA DE VARME LANDE w/ Niclas Knudsen, Anders Vesterdahl, Jakob Munck ODESSA 5 w/ Anders Banke, Mads Hyhne, Jakob Munck, Jonas Müller
...and a number of other bands.
In addition to Denmark, Pasborg has performed in a large number of other European countries as well as Asia and the United States. He has been awarded several prizes, including the soloist prize at the 16th European Jazz Contest in Germany; the Rhythmic Music Conservatory Talent Prize; the first prize at the 5th European Tournament for Improvised Music in France; and the Danish Arts Foundation´s grant for artistic work in 2003, 2004 and 2005. At Danish Music Awards Jazz 2004, he received 2 grammys, including being voted ’New Jazz Name of the Year’.
