This supplement is published by The Copenhagen Post in co-operati on with Wondercool, please refer to our disclaim-er on page 2 of the newspaper.

Wondercool, which started on Wednesday,

is a winter festi val organised by Wonder-

ful Copenhagen at which we’re all wel-

come. That’s a lot of Ws!

But before you get stuck into our second of four spe-

cial supplements about the festi val, you should be

aware that of the seven themes prevailing over Febru-

ary, two are relati vely short-lived aff airs: fashion and

jazz, which explains why we have paid them special at-

tenti on in issues one and two respecti vely.

This week’s focus on jazz includes an exclusive inter-

view with legendary drummer Jack DeJohnett e, who

is gracing Koncerthuset with his presence on Sunday

(see page 5 for details), the same day that the fashion

festi val – bar a few events – prett y much draws to a

close.

So if jazz or fashion is your passion, don’t hang around

procrasti nati ng because it won’t mean a thing if you

weren’t there to swing.

Wondercool Copenhagen- Feb 3-9

Copenhagen Jazz Festival Honorary Award: Palle Mikkelborg + Jack DeJohnetteKoncerthuset, Koncertsalen, Emil Holms Kanal 20, Cph C; Sun Feb 5, 20:00; Tickets: 220-470kr; 3393 2013 By Johnny Niemann

Drummers may be the most vital instrumentalists to other

jazz musicians, but aside from a resounding solo here and

there, they can be the least appreciated musicians by an

audience. A soaring saxophone can cause you to swoon, or a pi-

anist can take you on a ride up and down the keyboard, all while

the jazz drummer does the workman-like duty of keeping the beat,

supporting the other musicians, and leading into and rounding off

scorching solos.

It’s only just then, that in the course of a couple of months, the

great 69-year-old drummer Jack DeJohnette gets his due. On 10

January in New York City, DeJohnette was awarded one of the high-

est American honours a jazz musician can receive: the National En-

dowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Fellowship. And on 5 February

in Copenhagen, DeJohnette will be awarded the Copenhagen Jazz

Festival Honorary Award.

But don’t worry. It won’t just be speeches when DeJohnette ac-

cepts his prize - he’s here to play. As the winter edition of the Jazz

Festival’s director Signe Lopdrup says: ‘Instead of offering them a

large cheque, we have chosen to give them a broadened economic

framework so each can create his special project and perform it at

Koncerthuset.’

Audiences should be excited too. DeJohnette was here just this

summer for a splendid performance with pianist Keith Jarrett and

bassist Gary Peacock - the beloved trio he has been a part of for

the past 25 years. On this occasion, he’ll play with his own accom-

plished trio, featuring the Spanish pianist Chano Dominguez, and

the American bassist and guitarist Jerome Harris.

“It’s great to be acknowledged for doing what I do,” said DeJohnette

in an interview with The Copenhagen Post. “It inspires me to put

more energy into my composing and my work. It is an honour that

I am very grateful to receive and I am looking forward to coming to

Copenhagen to play.”

The Chicago-born DeJohnette has played with some of the most leg-

endary musicians jazz, or music for that matter, has to offer. Miles

Davis, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Charles Lloyd and Ornette Cole-

man to name but a few. He says what makes these artists unique is

that “they have vision and they have trust in their musicians. These

were people who were able to move the music forward. And that

was passed on to me from all these players.”

Jazz musicians seem to be especially concerned with tending to

the flame and passing on their experience and ideas. In his role as

a jazz legend, he works with and supports young, up-and-coming

musicians such as Esperanza Spalding, Lionel Loueke, and Thomas

Enhco.

“I try to give back in the same way that the musicians that I came up

with gave to me. You exchange ideas, inspire them and they inspire

Jack’s a legend, Jack is slick, he’s a master with two drumsticks

you. You help raise their level of experience by playing with them. There always should be that exchange between the elders and the

young people. That’s always been a tradition in jazz. It’s important to keep that connection going. It’s a community.”

As a composer, DeJohnette is conscious of the times he lives in, crafting such tunes as Song for World Forgiveness and even releasing a

Grammy-nominated album designed for relaxation and meditation. “Jazz deals with improvisation and in life we have to be able to im-

provise, particularly now in the social, economic and political climate that we live in,” DeJohnette says. “We have to learn how to adjust

in the moment. How can you not be influenced by these times? The environment we live in affects me as a composer and an artist.”

DeJohnette studied classical piano as a child. As a young musician he was equally in demand for his piano playing as well as for his drum-

ming - something that perhaps lends to his special sound. “For me drums are an orchestral instrument, as complete an instrument as a

piano is,” DeJohnette says. “Over the years I have developed a melodic as well as a rhythmic style playing the instrument. I colour the

music as well as propel the music at the same time.’

Supporting and leading his trio, and welcoming some of the Latin sounds of Dominguez’s Flamenco-piano playing chops, DeJohnette

promises that the evening in Copenhagen will have the sound, trust, vision, improvisation, and thoughtful soulfulness listeners have

come to expect from DeJohnette’s music.

Wondercool Copenhagen- Feb 3-9

Joshua Redman TrioKoncerthuset, Studio 2, Emil Holms Kanal 20, Cph C; Mon Feb 13, 20:00; ti ckets: 350kr; 3393 2013

Joshua Redman’s forays into Copenhagen are always exciti ng events. The US saxophonist Redman,

himself once the musical director of the San Francisco Jazz Festi val, is a veteran of the Copenhagen Jazz

Festi val. But audiences never ti re of Redman, primarily because he’s a gift ed and engaging musician

and composer, but also because each concert he’s had over the past few years — be it a solo-show, an

avant-garde two drummers/two bassists performance, or this past summer’s duet with pianist Brad

Mehldau — is fresh and dynamic. Redman is here this ti me with his trio at the snazzy new Koncerthu-

set.

The Songs of Joni Mitchell feat Mona Larsen + Julie MariaKoncerthuset, Studio 2, Emil Holms Kanal 20, Cph C; Tue Feb 14, 20:00, ti ckets: 220kr; 3393 2013

The festi val is sending you your very own Valenti ne’s card in the shape of the music of singer/song-

writer Joni Mitchell performed by Danish singers Mona Larsen and Julia Maria. Bett er than a box of

chocolates or overpriced roses, Mitchell’s lyrics and music lend themselves to jazz. She has worked

with such legends as Charles Mingus and Herbie Hancock, and it should be exciti ng to hear two Danish

jazz stars interpret the moods and ideas of Mitchell’s music.

Celebrati ng Krzysztof Komeda – An Evening of fi lm + solo piano w. Leszek MozdzerDen Sorte Diamant, Søren Kierkegaards Plads 1, Cph K; Sat Feb 11, 20:00; ti ckets: 140kr; 3347 4225

The festi val has treated audiences to multi -media explorati ons in the past, most recently with the

great Bill Frisell’s music accompanying photographs by Mike Disfarmer. Innovati ve programming is on

display again at the Black Diamond when the Polish pianist Leszek Mozdzer celebrates the music of his

countryman, the late great composer and pianist Krzysztof Komeda, who is probably best known for

several fi lm scores he wrote for Roman Polanski’s fi lms in the 1960s. The evening begins with a fi lm,

followed by jazz, and is a dream for fi lm lovers and jazz buff s — and those fortunate enough to be both.

Sharon Jones and the Dap-KingsKoncerthuset, Studio 2, Emil Holms Kanal 20, Copenhagen C; Fri Feb 17, 21:00;

ti ckets: 295kr; 3393 2013

Jazz is soul, soul is jazz, jazz is funk, funk is jazz. Sharon Jones and the Dap-kings will drop some funky

and soulful sounds on a chilly February night. You might just fi nd yourself grooving so much that you’ve

forgott en you are supposed to be cold and morose.

JAZZBy Johnny NiemannAND ALL ITS RAZZAMATAZZ

Some people roast themselves under bright lights at tanning salons. Others are privi-

leged enough to jet away to some warm or tropical locati on. But for the rest of us, stuck

in the midst of grim winter, Copenhagen’s charms need a jump start, a jazzy kick.

So, be thankful for the musicians and good people who bring us the winter editi on of the

Copenhagen Jazz Festi val. Now in its 12th year, ‘Vinterjazz’ is of course organised by the same

folks who take care of summerti me’s highly-successful, internati onally-renowned, 33-year-old

Copenhagen Jazz Festi val. Kind of them to save a few sets from summer’s sunny days, no?

The winter festi val is a light version of the summer festi val. It doesn’t take over the city for ten

days, pouring out onto the streets, squares and alleys from the clubs and cafes; it is smaller in

scope, contenti ng itself with a few choice concerts and venues, shining from diff erent points

in the city from February 3-19.

The festi val offi cially takes place all over Denmark at 60 diff erent venues, but most of the

headliners, the brightest stars and internati onal names come to our chilly capital. What fol-

lows are some top picks and festi val highlights to help you stave off the winter blues with

some winter cool. But there’s plenty more! Check out www.jazz.dk or the ‘Vinterjazz’ app for

complete listi ngs or to buy ti ckets.]TOP
