Every December, Cæcilie Norby brings her annual Christmas concert to Jazzhus Montmartre, a tradition many jazz fans look forward to as the festive season arrives in Copenhagen.
The evening celebrates a wide range of Christmas melodies with a focus on presence and improvisation. Norby is joined by three musicians from the top tier of European jazz: guitarist Ulf Wakenius, known from the Oscar Peterson Quartet; bassist, cellist and composer Lars Danielsson; and drummer Magnus Öström, whose work with e.s.t. continues to shape European jazz. The programme moves freely between original compositions, personal reinterpretations and atmospheric winter and Christmas songs, with room for reflection, humour and musical surprises.
