about

Award-winning alto saxophonist Nikola Bankov, described as “Bright young cat with fresh grooves“ – (ALL ABOUT JAZZ) is only 21 years old and he‘s truly pushing the boundaries of his instrument. Nikola originates from Slovakia and is currently studying at The Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, Denmark.

His critically acclaimed debut album ‘Bright Future’ emerges as Nikola’s definitive statement, merging inspiring and catchy melodies with a refreshingly original sound. The album features world-renowned tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake (USA) and has 2 nominations for The Best Jazz Album Of The Year in Slovakia. Bankov experiments with a range of FX effects applied to the sound of the saxophone, adding a new set of colors to the musical palate.

Nikola Bankov Band (SK,DK) is an international modern jazz group of 5 musicians, based in Aarhus, Denmark, lead by young saxophonist Nikola Bankov. The rest of the band is made up of some of the best young and high-in-demand musicians in Denmark.



”Fierce blowout“ – STEREOGUM (Phil Freeman)

“Nikola Bankov is a fantastic alto player who writes catchy tunes and performs them with a rich electric sonic palette. It was a joy to collaborate with him.” - SEAMUS BLAKE

“An impressive performance within a modern and “hip” musical landscape. Altogether this is a very nice “business card” that invites the listener into a young, lively and modern world where jazz obviously is an important ingredient.” - NETTAVISEN.NO (Tor Hamerrø)
