However, a great variety of literature on Danish jazz has been pub- lished dealing with this period of time, mostly biographies, coffee table books, and other books written by journalists, musicians, etc. Two of the publications under review here, By af jazz and Montmartre, fall into this category of literature.

  • Jazz in Modern Liturgical Music
    JAZZ IN MODERN LITURGICAL MUSIC You wouldn’t normally expect to find modern jazz music performed at Mass, yet this is exactly what is happening at Copenhagen Cathedral. Is this a pioneering new direction for Mass? We explore the development of jazz in liturgy. When the Copenhagen Jazz Festival added the city’s cathedral, The Church Of Our Lady, to its venues list, it may have simply been a move to use whatever spaces were available to expand its programme. After all, there are many other ‘urban festivals’ around the world that use churches as venues to great effect. However, they may not have envisaged how this would develop into an annual ‘July Jazz Masses’ at the cathedral, now a regular part of the Jazz Festival programme. Completed in 1829, the cathedral is an unpretentious building in the neo-classicist style, with a bright interior, remarkable statues and seating for over 1100 people. The Jazz July Masses are traditional worship services led by the Dean, Anders Gadegaard, infused with live music led by acclaimed bassist Chris Minh Doky, drawing on Scandinavian as well as Catholic traditions. To Dean Gadegaard, it is all about enhancement of the experience, as he commented in an interview on Danish broadcaster PBS: “When you add this jazz tone, it becomes much more vital for people, and it becomes easier for us to proclaim the gospel.” The Cathedral has gone further and now also includes jazz in special 'Night Church' events on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. These are services offering prayer, electronica, poetry, jazz, gospel workshop and other contemporary forms in a candle- lit setting.

  • Annotated Bibliography of the Impact of Jazz Festivals Research Review, AHRC Connected Communities Programme
    Annotated Bibliography of The Impact of Jazz Festivals Research Review, AHRC Connected Communities Programme This research review, consisting of a 110-entry annotated bibliography, was produced as part of an AHRC Connected Communities programme project entitled ‘The Impact of Festivals’. It supports a journal article, ‘The Impact of Jazz Festivals’, accepted by Jazz Research Journal in July 2016. Authors: Dr Emma Webster and Professor George McKay University of East Anglia July 2016 Author: Abreu-Novais, Margarida and Charles Arcodia Year: 2013 Title: Music festival motivators for attendance - Developing an agenda for research Reference Type: Journal article Publisher: International Journal of Event Management Research Journal: International Journal of Event Management Research Volume/Issue: Volume 8, Number 1, Page numbers: 34-48 Keywords: Motivation; Event Attendance; Music Festivals URL: http://www.ijemr.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/AbreuNovaisArcodia.pdf Date accessed: 17-Dec-15 Abstract: This article analyses existing research with reference to motivations for attending special events with specific reference to musical performances. Its purpose is to identify emerging themes, detect similarities and contradictions, and uncover gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed by further research. While the overall aim is to understand the motivations to attend music festivals, the lack of specific studies in this area requires the analysis of motivations to be conducted within the broader context of special events. The first two sections of the article therefore identify, describe and analyse the main motivational theories and frameworks utilised in the special event context and subsequently critically examines these theories. It is suggested that the most relevant issues are motivational dimensions, the relationship between motivation and socio-demographic variables and the generalisability of motivators.

  • Full Program Ready for Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2012
    Full program ready for Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2012 On a press meeting at Hofteatret earlier this afternoon Copenhagen Jazz Festival announced the final lineup for this summer’s festival. With a record breaking number of concerts the respected festival is bigger and more diverse than ever. This year’s headliners include jazz greats like Brad Mehldau, Wayne Shorter, Jim Hall, Joe Lovano and John Scofield as well as world music stars like Anoushka Shankar, Tony Allen og Concha Buika. True to tradition the festival also features artists one wouldn’t normally label jazz – among them Neneh Cherry, Nosaj Thing, Mikael Simpson and Choir of Young Believers. The latter will perform a special expanded version of their critically acclaimed record “Rhine Gold” at The Royal Theater’s Old Stage – this year’s most used concert hall venue with a total of five concerts. Koncerthuset will host two concerts during the festival, inviting people in for musical treats by Anoushka Shankar and Caroline Henderson. Like previous years the festival will feature a handful of themes, each representing entrance points to the expansive programme. One of these – titled 21st Century Jazz – will take the pulse of modern jazz in the newly reopened Jazzhouse and present new American names like trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire and pianist Gerald Clayton as well as Nordic forces like trumpeter Goran Kajfes and avant-garde trio The Thing (with Neneh Cherry). Jazzhouse will also house concerts with British Portico Quartet and James Blackshaw, Australian trio The Necks and the Japanese vocal phenomenon Koichi Makigami besides the main attraction: A two night tribute to Wayne Shorter by a superb quintet lead by Joe Lovano and Dave Douglas.
