Looking so very much forward to present the trio seisila on tuesday evening finishing off the festival!

Three distinct voices of the experimental music scene meet to find the absolute limits of physical expression on their instruments through the open-form, post-hardcore take on free improvisation. Industrial and raw wonder, unscripted seismic force.

Signe Emmeluth - saxophones
Michaela Turcerová - winds
Anders Vestergaard - drums

On the second day of the festival we will welcome the awesome musician Lao Dan who is artist in residence during Copenhagen Jazz Festival! We are thrilled to make this happen in collaboration with Final Descent!

Lao Dan, a pioneering force in Chinese experimental jazz, marries the ancient melodies of his homeland with the daring improvisation of jazz. Mastering the suona, a traditional Chinese wind instrument, he embarked on a journey to blend two worlds. His music is a mesmerizing fusion, weaving together centuries-old Chinese traditions with the bold experimentation of jazz. Lao Dan's compositions are a cultural bridge, inviting audiences worldwide to experience the harmonious dialogue between tradition and modernity. As a global ambassador of Chinese heritage, his performances transcend borders, captivating with intricate rhythms and soulful melodies. Lao Dan stands as a symbol of cultural exchange and artistic innovation, leaving an indelible mark on the world of jazz.

Presenting Jonas Engel/Asger Thomsen:
Based on free-form stream-of-consciousness improvisations with a focus on otherworldly sounds and fragmented gestures, the duo have come together to explore the outer limits of the acoustic potential of traditional instrumentation through preparation and self-developed instrumental technique.

In 2023 they released their debut album ‘Kölschner’ and in the summer 2024 they will release their next album ‘Brutage’ recorded on a tour throughout Germany, France, and Spain.

“Kölschner highlights the deep listening method of Engel and Thomsen and the thoughtful way that they become one sonic entity, fragile, mysterious and captivating.“ words by Eyal Hareuveni.

Experience the award-winning Estonian saxophonist Maria Faust present the music from her solo album, "Monument".
The album was recorded at the castle on the home island of Kuressaare and consists of a series of tonal structures that work with the castle's distinctive spatiality and take as its starting point light, shadows, reflections and reverberation. With an electronic setup, Faust works in a neo-folk mode where overtones, glissandi and extreme use of dynamics create an emotionally charged soundscape.
