Swinging jazz made for dancing. Having been a sideman for American and Danish jazz icons for many years, pianist Jan Nielsen decided to put his own band together in 2016 named Flying Jazzman. The band plays proper swing jazz inspired by Nat King Cole, Oscar Peterson, Errol Garner, and Gene Harris. Jan Nielsen, who has lived in the USA for numerous years, has performed in New Orleans and been a house musician in a gospel church in the south of Alabama. Here, he performs in the company of three hand-picked musicians who live for playing. Both band and repertoire have put some of Denmark's best swing dancers to the test, and Flying Jazzman Quartet continues with Jazz and Dance, where jazz music is used to bring back the old-timey feeling, where movement is encouraged. If you've never danced to swing before, then come and learn, as there will be professional dance instructors, sponsored by JazzDanmark, at the event.
