The weather outside may be frightful but never fear, Vinterjazz is here (see cphpost.dk for details). And if there is one place topping the bill with 30 performances scheduled for the festival, it’s Tango y Vinos.
The cosy Argentine winebar is no stranger to hosting the odd jam session or two with local artists flocking to it at weekends to showcase their talents.
It offers an intimate setting and warm atmosphere. Musical instruments donated by some of its performers line the walls, providing inspiration and making it a must-see venue at this year’s VinterJazz.
Additionally it also hosts tango dating on Tuesdays – for 600 kroner per person, you get a three-course meal and a lesson – as well as special ‘wine and food’ events on Wednesdays and Sundays.
The restaurant’s owner, Eliza, can’t wait for it to start. “We’re really looking forward to welcoming artists into our restaurant and to hopefully spread the word about Tango y Vinos too," she said.
Kicking things off are Artved/Stokkendal/Juncker at 5pm this Friday, a young trio of jazz musicians from the Copenhagen area who will be delivering their take on classic songs from the ‘Great American Songbook’, which includes numbers originally by Cole Porter, Wayne Sorter and John Coletrane to name but a few.
They take a modern approach to old jazz favourites and are undoubtedly going to provide an exceptional start to the biggest and best Vinterjazz line-up to date.
