Summer jazz

ongoing, ends July 11; venues in Frederiksberg & Valby; masterclass 80kr, concerts 145-275kr; cowbellmusic.dk/summerjazz

With the world-famous Copenhagen Jazz Festival in full swing, it’s easy to overlook Summer Jazz.

In honour of the 100th anniversary of the birth of famous jazz artists like Frank Sinatra and Billie Holliday, this year’s theme is ‘Sound of Icons’ and the program seeks to do them justice.

Among the 40 concerts there are several experimental compositions and collaborations between international and Danish artists.

Besides that, the famous public masterclasses will continue this year, accompanied by interesting artist talks and a couple of free concerts. (LK)
