THORS HAMMER

THORS HAMMER

Thors Hammer incluía o saxofonista Jesper Nehammer, o guitarrista Michael Bruun, o baixista Henrik Bødtcher e o baterista Simon Koppel, todos músicos prolíficos na cena musical dinamarquesa. Koppel tocou em gravações de meados dos anos 60 de Don Cherry e do pianista polonês Krzysztof Komeda. Ele também estava no grupo de batida Exploding Mushroom com o roamer inglês Mac MacLeod (Donovan, Mick Softley, Argent, Hurdy Gurdy). Mais recentemente, Koppel tocou no lançamento do MPS de 1969, Afrodisiaca, de John Tchicai e Cadentia Nova Danica. Nehammer tocou nos lançamentos de jazz de 1970 Peace de Tordenskjolds Soldater e CM Musictrain de Carsten Meinert, ambos na Spectator Records. Thors Hammer também contou com o tecladista Henrik Langkilde e o cantor Peter Nielsen. Eles foram o segundo ato escandinavo a usar o nome, derivado da mitologia nórdica. (Um grupo beat homônimo da Islândia lançou quatro singles de 1966/67 na Parlophone e na Columbia).
