RIP Stig Møller (1945-2026) - Danish singer/songwriter and co-founder of the cult band Steppeulvene who only released one (groundbreaking) album; "Hip" from 1967.

Late happy birthday to Janet Jackson who turned 60 yesterday. Earlier this year, Jackson could celebrate the 40th anniversary of her groundbreaking third studio album, "Control" which was released in 1986.
At just 19 years old, Jackson used the album to break free from her family's oversight and assert personal independence, influencing a whole generation of pop artists. Her collaborations with the songwriters and record producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis resulted in an unconventional sound: a fusion of rhythm and blues, rap vocals, funk, disco, and synthesized percussion that established Jackson, Jam, and Lewis as leading innovators of contemporary R&B. 
Janet Jackson became the first female artist to have five top-five hits from one album on the Billboard Hot 100 chart - and "Control" also set a record for the longest continuous run of charting singles on the Hot 100, with 65 consecutive weeks.

"I was reminded of this John Cage quote from a speech that he gave to his high school class. He said he wished that everyone could stop everything. Stop for one day. Let the whole world just stop and just listen to each other. How about that? Could we do that for a second?" --- Bill Frisell

Thelonious Monk and Charlie Rouse in 1967, working through "Boo Boo's Birthday" in the studio.

“You’ll believe this band can fly” – Songlines Magazine

ADG7 (Ak Dan Gwang Chil) returns to ALICE during this summer’s Copenhagen Jazz Festival — and we dare promise a reunion that shimmers with both sheer joy of playing and pure, infectious euphoria. With roots deeply embedded in Korean folklore and a gaze set on effervescent pop, the nine-member ensemble unites shamanistic traditions with modern K-pop aesthetics in a vibrant, captivating show that feels as uplifting as it is mesmerizing.

When ADG7 took over ALICE in 2024, they left a packed venue in ecstasy — singing, dancing, and completely absorbed in their warmth, humor, and virtuosic interplay. Now they’re back, armed with instruments such as the daegeum and ajaeng, powerful vocal harmonies, and charming choreography that elevate the spiritual energy of gut and minyo into a contemporary, celebratory setting. We look forward to another unforgettable evening as ADG7 once again transforms ALICE into a bubbling, boundary-breaking community.

The concert is part of Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2026, which takes place from July 3 to July 12 across more than 120 venues throughout the capital. See the full program at www.jazz.dk.

Oplev en af de mest originale og overbevisende stemmer på den britiske jazzscene, når Sarathy Korwar (UK/IN) gæster Musikcaféen den 9. juli.

Hans musik fusionerer jazz, indisk folkemusik, elektronisk og klassisk musik, og centrerer sig om fællesskab, race og transcendens.

RIP to acclaimed Finnish vibraphonist Severi Pyysalo (1967-2026) - here with the late Sarah Vaughan at @porijazz in 1984.

French-Senegalese singer anaiis is the latest headliner at Cph Jazz Festival 2026 ✨

anaiis (FR)
July 7, Studie 2
/ DR Koncerthuset

anaiis is an exciting new name on the international music scene who presents her very own forward-thinking mix of genres inspired by thinkers and artists such as Nina Simone, James Baldwin and Alice Walker.

Since childhood, anaiis has been shaped by an international outlook, having grown up in Toulouse, Dakar, Oakland, New York, Dublin and her current hometown of London. This shows up in her music, which explores a curious and melodious universe across genre- and national borders from deep dub to sprawling funk with her voice as the centerpiece. Her lyrics revolve around emotions, change and freedom – both from the oppressive systems of the outside world and from the wars we fight with ourselves.
