Participating Artists

JazzCamp for Piger

Since both the concert series Mulitply and Community in general, have diversity and inclusion as cornerstones, it was natural to invite some of the participants for this year’s version of JazzCamp for Piger to play a concert within our program.
JazzCamp for Girls is a music camp for girls between 10-15 year old who want to learn jazz and improvisation and play with others. JazzDanmark and Copenhagen Jazz Festival is supporting the popular camps, which takes place every year during the winter holidays at music schools and institutions throughout the country.

Maria Dybbroe / Ståle Liavik Solberg
Maria Dybbroe – alto sax, clarinet, synth
Ståle Liavik Solberg – drums, perc

Ståle Liavik Solberg og Maria Dybbroe mødtes for første gang i Oslo i efteråret 2018, hvor de regelmæssigt begyndte at spille duo-sessions af ren interesse for den andens spil og som en sjov måde at øve sammen på. Der skulle dog gå et helt år før denne deres første koncert – så glæd jer til en helt frisk debut!
Ståle Liavik Solberg er en af Norges fremmeste improvisations-trommeslagere og -perkussionister kendt for sin meget personlige lyd, sit helt særlige ultra-slim trommesæt og sin ustoppelige nysgerrighed. Han har spillet meget med John Russel, men også i projekter med Steve Beresford, Frode Gjerstad, Paal Nilssen-Love, John Butcher, Lotte Anker mfl.
Maria Dybbroe er en ung saxofonist, improvisator og komponist som de seneste år har været en meget aktiv spiller som solist og kapelmester på den mere eksperimenterende del af den københavnske og aarhusianske jazzscene, bl.a. som en del af grupperne Køs og Cactus.

Open Session

What we call an Open Session is a concept for group improvisation where a person leads constellation of musicians put together for the occasion, in front of an audience. It can be through graphic scores, conducting with various techniques and hand signs or other propositions. The purpose is to create a space for musicians from the 3 different collectives to play together, within a frame and in a direction set in forehand. Again and again, we have experienced strong bonds between musicians and seen relationships build up through playing together.

Pata 3 (DK)
Jonas Engel – Sax
Asger Thomsen – bas
Simon Forchammer – trommer

The trio plays compositions by bassist Asger Thomsen. It’s free jazz with a twist of hard-boiled simplicity and something more unfathomable. Poignant structures enclose free-flowing material from the subconscious.

Otto Hirte – sopransax, flute, clarinet
Leon Albert – guitar
Marius Moritz – piano
Sebastian Braun – bass
Halym Kim – drums

The five musicians arrange Erik Satie’s piano compositions for their instrumentation and create room for improvisation within them, to interpret the pieces with the perception of a musician of the 21st century. In January 2014, at the HfM Dresden ensemble contest, the quintet was awarded the eco-prize from BASF for the best interpretation of contemporary music. Since then, they’ve been playing numerous concerts all over Germany, for instance at the Jazznachwuchsfestival 2015 in Leipzig.

The Way Out (DK)
TS Høeg – altsax
Mads Egetoft – tenorsax
Jonathan Aardestrup – bas
Jens Lopes – trommer

Since 2007 The Way Out has been an exceptional, expressive and extraordinary jazz band that is musically inviting as well as challenging.
The playfull explorations of TS Hawk and Mads Egetoft sparkle from a timeless conjunction on the energetic free-swinging foundation of Jens Lopes on drums and Jonathan Aardestrup on bass. It is dead sharp and free as a bird.
