Syddansk Musikkonservatorium and Musikhuset Dexter invite you to a free mini-festival of jazz-rooted music performed by talented young musicians on their way to the major stages. Over two days, four concerts offer a varied mix of improvisation, contemporary chamber music, and folk and world influences.
- Open Up: a quartet playing music by Uli Kempendorff, Kasper Tranberg and Peter Bruun, with an open approach to improvisation and a touch of contemporary chamber music.
- AM Combo: a band playing American and European jazz composers in a modern style, including Hal Galper, Jimmy Webb, Kenny Wheeler and Anders Mogensen.
- Chroma: a trio of guitar, piano and drums playing contemporary "chamber jazz", where harmony and colour lean towards modern classical music.
- Odd Measures: a varied project blending jazz improvisation with Balkan and Eastern European folk music and newer alternative rock, from Brazilian music and jazz standards to Jobim's Retrato em Branco e Preto.
