About
Jazz Night at Charlie Scott's in Copenhagen brings together a quartet led by drummer Nikolaj Bangsgaard, with Elias HP, Hasbirk and Toftemark completing the group. It is a Saturday-evening concert, and the kind of night that suits anyone who enjoys live jazz in a relaxed, neighbourhood setting.
What to expect
The band plays a mix of material. Expect favourite standards, original compositions and, now and then, a few obscure pop tunes reworked in a jazz style. The programme shifts from familiar tunes to newer pieces, so listeners who know the repertoire and those who don't both have something to follow.
The second set
The second set becomes an open jam session, and other musicians are welcome to sit in. For visitors who play an instrument, this is the part of the evening to look forward to. For listeners, it offers a more spontaneous side of the music, as the room's players join in and the tunes take unplanned directions.
Planning your visit
- The event takes place at Charlie Scott's, a music venue in Copenhagen, Denmark.
- It is held on Saturday evenings.
- Up-to-date details of the live jazz programme are published on the venue's website.
Copenhagen itself makes a good base for the evening, with its compact centre and its many cafés and restaurants, so a jazz night can easily be part of a wider day in the city.
