About Jan Harbeck
Harbeck’s official biography identifies him as a Danish saxophonist and composer trained at the Royal Academy of Music in Aalborg and The New School in New York. His artist site and Bandcamp place his active base in Copenhagen.[1][4]
The biography separates Harbeck’s two principal leader ensembles: the Jan Harbeck Quartet and Live Jive Jungle. The official music archive documents the quartet’s ballad and blues-centered recordings alongside the more rhythm-driven Live Jive Jungle catalog.[1][3]
Harbeck’s authorized Bandcamp brings together Variations in Blue, The Sound The Rhythm, Elevate, Balanced, and the 2026 quartet release Conversation. His site-linked YouTube channel adds performance video from both leader groups.[4][2]
