Sokkelund Sangkor meets the jazz duo Mads Granum on piano and Thomas Fonnesbæk on double bass for a Christmas concert built around the Gospel of Luke. Traditional Christmas tunes are reimagined in surprising arrangements, ranging from virtuoso Bach chorales and Danish hymns to jazzy versions of well-known carols.
Along the way, the story is lit from unexpected angles through music in many styles: songs about waiting for a first child, the mood in the stable as a prelude to the death on the cross, the political consequences of a new Jewish king, and, of course, angel choirs.
