Uffe Steen (born 1953 in Odense) is a Danish guitarist, improviser and composer who has worked at the intersection of blues, jazz and rock since 1966. He plays left-handed and upside-down, a quirk that feeds directly into his instantly recognisable tone and technique. With more than 80 releases as a soloist and sideman, a long teaching career at the Jutland Music Conservatory, and awards including the Ben Webster Prize (2015) and three consecutive DMA Blues Live Awards (2017-2019), he ranks among Denmark's most distinguished guitarists.
Uffe Steen Trio and Vestbo Trio performed at Musikhuset Aarhus as part of an autumn tour to present the album 'Grooves'.
Uffe Steen performed at Aarhus Jazz Festival 2023 together with Al Agami under the concept Soul Jazz'n'Beats.
Uffe Steen Trio and Vestbo Trio completed a joint tour in September 2022.
The album 'Miniatures' was released - a solo project where Uffe Steen himself handled all guitar tracks.
The album 'Retroscope' was released, and the single 'Flet' from the subsequent 'Grooves' album was added to Spotify playlists and named Album of the Week on DR P8 Jazz.
