Django Reinhardt, John Coltrane, and Other Treats from the Jazz Cabinet

Local and ubiquitous duo Kwella & Friis team up with music phenomenon Jacob Venndt for this concert.

The repertoire includes a wide range of exciting jazz tunes, from Django Reinhardt's Minor Swing to John Coltrane's Giant Steps, as well as a few originals.

Jacob Venndt is a multi-instrumentalist who graduated from the Royal Academy of Music's soloist class in 2006. He is sponsored by the Japanese harmonica company Suzuki. In addition to harmonicas and double bass, which was his original primary instrument, he plays a wide range of other instruments, including the exciting and until now somewhat overlooked tenor guitar.

Jacob has written music for and participated in a variety of theater, cabaret, and revue contexts. As a musician, conductor, and actor, he has played all over the kingdom and in many parts of the world with various jazz bands, including The Dixieland Gipsy Band (together with Jens Christian Kwella).

Kwella & Friis have played together for over 30 years, both as a duo and as backing for countless soloists. They have developed a telepathic groove and can best be described as musical Siamese twins.
