Peter Vuust is a unique combination of a world class musician and a top-level scientist. He plays and records regularly with international jazz stars such as Lars Jansson,Tim Hagans,John Abercrombie and Jukkis Uotila,and appears on more than 80 records,six of these as band leader. Based on his distinguished music and research career,he was appointed professor at The Royal Academy of Music Aarhus (RAMA) in 2008. After graduating from AU in Mathematics,French and Music,he devoted ten years to playing music,before resuming the academic career in 2000. He wrote a book on polyrhythms in Miles Davis quintet,that laid out the music theoretical framework for his PhD in neuroscience in 2006 concerning the neural processing of polyrhythms. Using behavioral measures,magnetoencephalography,electroencephalography and functional MR imaging,he provided evidence of an overlap between the neural substrates underlying processing of music and language syntax and semantics especially in musicians. This led to research into the emotional impact of music studies of neuroplasticity in musicians,and research into general theories about brain organization. Vuust collaborates and publishes with internationally renowned top-researchers such as Chris Frith, Risto Näätänen,Morten Kringelbach,Elvira Brattico,and Mari Tervianemi. Since 2007,Peter Vuust leads the multidisciplinary research group Music in the Brain, which aims at understanding the neural processing of music,by using a combination af advanced music theory,behavioral experience,and state-of-the-art brain scanning methods.
This research has the potential to significantly influence the way we play,teach,and use music clinically,and impact on our understanding of human brain function in general. The expanding group consists of PhDs,post-docs and a wide international network of collaborators who engage through weekly meetings,workshops and international symposia. As a leader PV draws on his many national and international personal relations and foremost on his experience through more than 15 years as leader and fundraiser for his own jazz orchestra,Peter Vuust Quartet a job that demands discipline,stamina and a great deal of psychological insight.

Born in Aarhus (Denmark), singer Veronica Mortensen was raised by her mother in Athens, Greece. At the age of 20, she moved back to Denmark to pursue a singing career – a natural choice, being the daughter of 2 musicians. She started her own soulband, a mini-bigband playing Aretha Franklin covers and Motown-classics, and soon after joined the more experimental acidjazzband Virtual Fantasy. Veronica Mortensen graduated from Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus in the summer of 1996 and took her Diploma exam from Rythmic Conservatory of Copenhagen in 1998. She has performed on several albums and TV-shows, both as a lead singer and as a background vocalist. She also has appeared in rockmusicals like “A tribute to the Blues Brothers”, “Another Brick In The Wall” and “Hair” playing in both Copenhagen and Paris. Her 2 albums “Pieces In A Puzzle” (2003) and “Happiness Is Not Included” (2007) got very fine reviews by the press and were both chosen for “Album of the week” by the Danish national radio (DR). The albums generated concerts in Denmark and abroad, among them at Bangkok Heineken Jazzfestival (Thailand), Beijing Jazzfestival (China) and at Ladies’ Jazzfestival in Gdynia (Poland). Beside her own music and band, she has also appeared with Peter Vuust Quartet, with whom se recorded the cd “Image Of Falling” (Imogena Records, 2005). In 2007 Veronica Mortensen received a prize from Danish Songwriters’ Association (DPA), acknowledging her work as a songwriter. Lately she has been working with several Big Bands, among them Athens Big Band (Greece) and swedish Bohuslän Big Band, with whom she’s been touring a number of times in Sweden. She has been a popular guest with Klüvers Big Band from Aarhus (Denmark) for the last 15 years and among many concerts, they have played the Aarhus Jazzfestival, toured Estland and played “Sacred Concerts” of Duke Ellington.
Veronica Mortensens 3rd album “I’m The Girl” is a live recording with Klüvers Big Band from Ridehuset in Aarhus, released in April 2010 on Stunt Records. The album shows what a great live performer she is and contains not only her own material, but also interpretations of other well-known songs. Special guests are Dave Samuels (US) on vibraphone/marimba and Dennis Mackrel (US) on drums. Bio ~ http://veronica.dk/biography
