Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2017

Earlier this year we had to say goodbye to one of Denmark’s greatest legends of jazz, violinist Svend Asmussen. His legacy was celebrated across the country during Vinterjazz 2017, and the celebration of this bygone presence continues on Rasmus Meisler’s art poster alongside one of the many strong women in jazz, Ella Fitzgerald, who would have turned 100 in 2017. Ella Fitzgerald’s own musical legacy is also the basis for a line of celebratory concerts at Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2017.

The art poster is readily available at the Copenhagen Jazz festival webshop: jazz.dk/shop

Tidligere i år sagde vi farvel til den måske største jazzlegende i Danmark gennem tiden, Svend Asmussen. Han er blevet hyldet landet over på den årlige Vinterjazz festival, og han bliver også hyldet på Rasmus Meislers kunstplakat sammen med en af de mange stærke kvinder i jazzen, Ella Fitzgerald, der i 2017 kunne være fyldt 100 år.
