Bagland has been one of the most prominent bands on the Danish jazz scene in recent years, representing and innovating the »Scandinavian sound«.
Since 2015, they have released four albums, most recently »States of Being«, which came out in 2022 and was called »a strong album that once and for all places them at the forefront of Danish jazz right now« by JazzNyt.
The band has been nominated for Danish Music Awards Jazz and has toured in Denmark, Finland and Germany, where they were selected to represent Denmark at the world’s largest jazz fair, »Jazzahead«.
The quintet is inspired by the desolate and open Nordic landscape, where lyrical melodies characterise the compositions, but at the same time works with an electronic sound that adds a playful and energetic element to the music. With award-winning trumpeter Jakob Sørensen at the helm, the concert
offers both innovation and tradition – hope, joy, longing and melancholy.
strong>Please note: For organisational reasons, the concert has been relocated to Studio E of the Laeiszhalle.
