THE END har været vibrafonist og percussionist Morten Grønvad’s musikalske hjertebarn siden 1986 og har i 40 år tryllebundet sit publikum med sin smukke og udfordrende musik, der spænder fra lyriske, melodiske ballader til up tempo numre med et energi niveau, der tager pusten fra én – alt sammen indenfor jazz fusion genren.

THE END’s unikke sound skyldes I høj grad Morten Grønvad’s midificerede vibrafon, der muliggør brugen af synthesizere I kombination med vibrafonen, hvilket frembringer et rigt varieret lydunivers, der passer ideelt til hans både lyriske og pågående spillestil.

Efter nogle års fravær, kan man atter nyde godt af genhøret med THE END’s originale saxofonist Thomas Hass, der udfolder sit smukke og altfavnendemelodiske spil med et nærvær og en virtuositet der udviser en dyb respekt for musikken.

Et af kendetegnene ved THE END’s musik har altid været det stærke rytmiske drive, som det svensk/italienske trommefænomen Niclas Campagnol her sørger for at videreføre. Niclas’ spil er i absolut verdensklasse med en uovertruffen musikalitet og en hårrejsende teknik. Hans powerhouse beats bliver fulgt helt til dørs af den cubanske superbassist Yasser Pino, hvis rytmiske grundlag er funderet I en opvækst med den cubanske musiktradition, hvorpå han har opbygget en original funky fusions stil. Sammen danner de to en fantastisk stilsikker og groovy bund, der er fundamentet for en stærk og medrivende musikalsk oplevelse.

THE END: World Class Jazz Fusion Since 1986

Danish vibraphonist percussionist and composer Morten Grønvad founded THE END in 1986 as a vehicle for his unique brand of jazz fusion, where hard grooving beats meet beautiful lyrical melodies with a unique signature sound mainly distinguished by his original compositions and the sound of his MIDIfied vibes. THE END has released three wellreceived

albums: “Matter of Fact” (1991), “Global Village” (1996), and “BrainBuilders” (2008).

THE END’s music is characterized by a strong emphasis on melody, harmony, and rhythm, creating a captivating and dynamic listening experience. The band’s sound is both modern and timeless, drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical traditions, including jazz, funk, rock, and world music.

THE END’s unique sound owes much to Morten Grønvad’s MIDI-enhanced vibraphone, which allows the use of synthesizers in combination with the vibraphone, creating a richly varied sonic universe that complements his lyrical yet assertive playing style.

After a few years’ absence, audiences can once again enjoy the return of THE END’s original saxophonist, Thomas Hass. His beautiful and all-encompassing melodic playing style is delivered with a profound presence and virtuosity that demonstrates a deep respect for the music.

One hallmark of THE END’s music has always been its strong rhythmic drive, which is now carried forward by Swedish-Italian drumming phenomenon Niclas Campagnol. Niclas’ playing is world-class, showcasing unmatched musicality and breathtaking technique.

His powerhouse beats are perfectly matched by the Cuban super-bassist Yasser Pino, whose rhythmic foundation is deeply rooted in the Cuban music tradition, upon which he has developed a unique, funky fusion style. Together, they form the solid and groovy foundation that underpins a powerful and engaging musical experience.
