Upcoming Concerts

It is rare for a young Danish female drummer to receive an international award. But it actually happened to Michala Østergaard, who in 2018 received the "Jazzkannan", one of Sweden's most prestigious awards given to musicians who bring the music further. This evening, Michala Østergaard is with her regular, international group with some of the most equilibristic improvisation musicians from Scandinavia and France - and this time extended with a fifth member - bassist Anders Jormin. It is a meeting between four countries and five musicians, each with their very own strong personality in a special open music that challenges, tickles and scratches, all at once. Magical storytelling, where images arise, emotions are born and people meet.

In Denmark, there are very few male jazz singers. And even fewer that exclusively sing in Danish. Søren Lampe is one of them. He has made it his agenda to “jazzify” Danish folk songs as well as more contemporary classics, which he does very convincingly and personally. Here, the listener gets the opportunity to hear the quality in songs from the song books of Danish folk songs and evergreens from the 20th century. With these extraordinary musicians with him on stage, Lampe will demonstrate the great art of jazz singing.

Mathias Heise Quadrillion has been playing together since 2012 and has since managed to create a different, unique and very personal contemporary expression that appeals to both young crossover fans and hardcore jazz fusion nerds. In addition to mastering the chromatic harmonica, 25-year-old Mathias Heise is an outstandingly skilled composer and pianist, and he surrounds himself with a skilled fusion-team consisting of peers and equally brilliant musicians who play a fusion of funk, rock and jazz. Ivan Rod from GAFFA describes the music as "Deeply original, engaging and totally elaborate." This evening, the elegance of jazz and the hard-hitting rhythms of funk music will merge into an exuberant set up, with four amazing musicians.

This Monten-night features two duos that combine the acoustic and the electronic in minimalistic soundscapes.

Nikolaj Svaneborg and Jonas Kardyb from Aarhus released their debut album “Knob” in March 2019 which made album of the week on P8 Jazz. 2019 has been an exceptional rewarding year for the duo who won “Danish Jazz Composer of the Year” and “New Danish Jazz Name of the Year” at Danish Music Awards Jazz and also ensured victory in Jazzkonkurrencen. The jury emphasized the duos’ brave minimalism and clear artistic strength. The music consists of an airy, spherical expression, where electronic and acoustic sounds are unified and capturing melodies encounter Nordic moods in a dreamy and groovy universe.

Gustaf Ljunggren and Emil de Waal celebrate their 20-year anniversary as duo and have for that occasion recorded a moving album consisting of new, joint music played on acoustic, electric and electronic instruments that definitely will touch, shake, swing and suave the audience. The Danish Music Award-nominated album has been recorded and mixed in New York by Andy Green (Velvet Underground and John Cale). On the basis of a common integrity and curiosity as the crucial factor the duo has played everything from hits from the Danish top-ten to improvised noise concerts in China.

Gypsy Jazz has swept the audiences off their feet since its birth in the 1930’s bubbly Paris. Sizzling solos and lethal speeds on acoustic instruments are the characteristics of the genre. With this constellation of talented, young Danish and Swedish jazz musicians, Jazzkollektivet has gathered a powerful team of interpreters of the popular music. The concert offers traditional methods and a great deal of joyful playing.

National Danish acoustic bass-icon Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (NHØP) left our world way too soon in 2005. This evening four musicians show their deep respect and pay their homage to this great innovator. Bo Stief has been a close ear and eyewitness to NHØP's life, mainly because the two friends had large parts of their musical upbringing at Montmartre. Stief talks about his experiences with NHØP, and the music played will be related to these stories. Stief will be accompanied by three great Danish musicians; Hans Ulrik (sax), Henrik Gunde (piano) and the drummer, who has been touring endlessly with NHØP, Alex Riel. The group enters NHØP’s musical universe and gives us their 2019-interpretations of his musical output. We will witness a glorious journey in music, where US-jazz walks hand in hand with traditional Danish songs. And through the entire concert, the spirit of NHØP and his enormous position in Danish jazz will be present.
