Kresten Osgood Quintet – A celebration of 100 years of jazz in Denmark
Are you ready to dive deep into the soul and history of jazz? You are invited to a unique anniversary evening at turquis, where we mark the 100th anniversary of jazz in Denmark in close collaboration between Jazzselskabet Aarhus and the venue turquis. The evening's protagonist is none other than Kresten Osgood - one of the country's most prominent and knowledgeable jazz figures - who first takes you on a historical journey through the world of jazz ideas, before he lets the music speak from his drum kit.
The evening begins with a lecture, where Osgood, with musical examples and great insight, talks about the development of jazz from the first saxophone to hit Danish soil to the genre's importance in 2026. Then the magic really unfolds when Osgood's all-star quintet takes the stage. With stars like Norwegian trumpeter Erik Kimestad and cult saxophonist Mads Egetoft by his side, you can expect a concert that both embraces tradition and challenges it with bold improvisations. It will be a journey into an open musical landscape, where the interplay is intuitive and the energy is completely unique.
