Aarhus Jazz Festival turns 30 - that calls for a celebration

The festival started in 1989 through an initiative by Musikhuset Aarhus along with a number of organisers and venues in order to bring life to the town during the summer months. It started off with a three-year trial period and ... well ... we are still here 30 years later.

Many jazz notes have been heard throughout Aarhus since the first year where Stan Getz, George Benson, McCoy Tyner, and Arturo Sandoval headlined. Throughout the years, the festival has hosted some fabulous concerts with great international stars as well as the many local musicians that fill the stages around town. 

Aarhus Jazz Festival is still alive and well thanks to the musicians, organisers, venues, and a loyal jazz crowd. That calls for a celebration, which is why a brilliant group of musicians will come and play jazz music focusing on the last 30 years.

The band is led by Jens Christian 'Chappe' Jensen, who played the saxophone in Klüvers Big Band for many years and now works as a professor at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus / Aalborg and leads the large band Blood Sweat Drum + Bass.

For this occasion, he has assembled a mixed group of older and younger musicians who are ever active in the name of jazz and fill the city with good music.

The concerts are spiced up with exciting guest soloist, which will be revealed later. The music will reflect the very different and notable musicians of Aarhus that helped shape the repertoire. With a time span of 60 years, they will present a varied programme with new arrangements by Jens Christian 'Chappe' Jensen and others.

We hope that you will come celebrate jazz and Aarhus Jazz Festival with us for a festive evening at the Bispejazz Tent with music from the period 1989-2018
