The Axel Boys Quartet

The fabulous foursome - a Danish fairy-tale of coincidence?

Brought together in school the four brains and musical talents demanded each other in the strive for a refuge of eloquence and elegance.  The four had a mutual interest in music not only as listeners but as contributers (sic) to the contemporary flow of fine tunes.  The Quartets artless star quality - as arrogant and affected as it may seem - evolves only be the acceptances of their own talent. 

From the beginning the melodic and slightly meticulous Axel Boys was of course the powerful pivot of the foursome.  Anders Haarder, the creative and brilliant antagonist, Jes Funder-Nielsen's soulful solidity and Jesper Falkensteen with his perfect precision - all cornerstones on which the Quartet was built.

After wearing out their school days the Quartet turned to the capitol of the kingdom refining the ensemble playing and a new need reared.  The need of good tunes.  And once again Providence helped the four.  They met the Juhl Brothers - the well-known twin team of composers - and the outcome was a beneficial mix of musicians and composers.  The long liaison has generated numerous evergreens, timeless tunes - and the envy of other groups and composers.  But nothing is accidential about the Axel Boys Quartet.  Axel Boys says "People tend to say we are lucky.  Funny though, the harder we work the luckier we get..."
