About
Jazz for Lovers & Loners: Dalia Valančiūtė Valentine's Day Jazz Concert is a live jazz evening in Copenhagen, Denmark, held at Charlie Scott's on Valentine's Day. It suits anyone who wants an intimate night of music, whether they come with a partner, with friends, or on their own.
The evening
Copenhagen-based Lithuanian jazz vocalist Dalia Valančiūtė leads her quartet through a set of songs about love, heartbreak and longing. The programme mixes familiar standards with lesser-known pieces, so listeners who know the classics will find plenty to recognise, while others may discover new material.
The concert is shaped in the spirit of vocal jazz storytellers such as Shirley Horn, Blossom Dearie and Betty Carter, where the singer's phrasing and the way a song is told matter as much as the melody itself.
