Jeremy Monteiro and Jakob Dinesen bring together two seasoned jazz voices from different parts of the world. Monteiro, long recognised as Singapore’s “King of Swing,” is known for his lyrical piano style and deep grounding in the jazz tradition. Danish saxophonist Jakob Dinesen complements this with a warm, expressive tenor sound shaped by years of performing across Europe and beyond.

Monteiro has spent decades developing Singapore’s jazz scene as a performer, composer, and mentor. His career has taken him to international festivals and concert stages while maintaining a strong presence in the region’s jazz community. Dinesen, one of Denmark’s leading jazz saxophonists, emerged in the late 1990s and has since worked with artists including Kurt Rosenwinkel, Paul Motian, Jeff “Tain” Watts, and Jakob Bro.

Dinesen’s playing is marked by a clear melodic sense and a thoughtful approach to improvisation. His recordings and projects often move between traditional jazz language and contemporary European influences, while maintaining a strong sense of swing and musical conversation.

Together, Monteiro and Dinesen present a set built on interaction and listening. Their collaboration brings together piano and tenor in a setting where space, phrasing, and musical dialogue take centre stage—well suited to the intimate atmosphere of The Capitol Jazz Club.
