Chris Stover is active internationally as a composer and performer, and has released eight CDs as a leader or co-leader, including the brand new (2025) release Helical with Danish bassist Niels Praestholm. His recent set of chamber-jazz compositions concrete lines—fluid curves, based on poetry by Angélica Freitas, was performed recently in Seattle, New York City, and Brisbane. His compositions explore process, growth, flux, and recontextualization, with careful and nuanced considerations of the relationships between melody and harmony and the ways these relationships can change over time.

Niels Præstholm graduated from The Rhythmic Music Conservatorium in Copenhagen in 1990 as a student of the late Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen. Before Niels Præstholm had reached the age of 25 he had been playing and touring with many of the greatest artists in jazz such as Clark Terry, Teddy Wilson, Horace Parlan, Lee Konitz, Kenny Drew, Ed Thigpen, Sahib Shihab, Trinidadian steel pan virtuoso Rudy “Twolef” Smith, Michael Gregory Jackson and many others.
After many years and many tours all over the world he formed his first regular band Embla together with saxist Thomas Agergaard and pianist Carsten Dahl to explore the Scandinavian sound. He has continued to compose and perform throughout th eworld with such bands and artists as Django Bates, Søs Fenger, Tue West, Martin Brygmann, Povl Dissing, Kristian Leth, Thomas Buttenschøn, Chris Stover (US) Louis “Chuim” Siguera (Brazil) poet T.S. Høeg and the Symphony Orchestra of Souther Jutland.
