About Me

Latest reviews:"Mikkel Ploug has been slowly, but surely, building a reputation for himself, and deservedly so. His live performances speak for themselves. This recording opens the door to his skills as a composer even while showcasing his considerable talent as a guitarist."- Jerry D'Souza - All About Jazz.................................... "an original voice with something to say" - Budd Kopman - All About Jazz.................................. "Ploug also impresses with melodies that do not become clichéd, chordalscape augmentations that are quite ethereal, intricate improvisations and slickly complex picked out lines. The Mikkel Ploug Group is a strong collaborative first effort from a young guitarist that we will hopefully be hearing from again." - Elliot Simon, All About Jazz............www.allaboutjazz.com........................ ...............................Mikkel Ploug Group are performing in a guest appearence for the Wayne Shorter Group in Ireland in April 07. Our album is available from Fresh Sound Records. Here is a video from the CD release concert in Copenhagen. .. width="425" height="350" ..
