Shelton  / Jacobson  / Vestergaard is a saxophone, bass and drum trio formed in the winter of 2017 after Shelton moved to Copenhagen from Oakland, California. Jacobson and Vestergaard are active players in the Danish scene.  On a whim they played a set together and the connection was made.  Their music is improvised, free and raw, with a focus on energy and change.
