Festival season is here


Summer is here and this means that it’s festival season.

Copenhagen Jazz Festival

I’m playing 15 gigs across the 10 days of the festival and I can’t wait.  

The jazz festival is a big highlight of my year as a musician.  

It’s been 24 years since my first jazz festival where my friend and I sat at old jazz venue La Fontaine waiting and trying to gather the courage to join the legendary jam session that lasts well into the morning.  

Back then it was the event where I would find inspiration to my own music and where I was free to dream about what kind of musician I’d want to be, who I’d want to play with. 

This year, I’m hosting a jam session at La Fontaine. And I hope to meet lots of old friends and hopefully make new ones through music.
