\nCopenhagen Jazz Festival<\/strong><\/a> har bokat Wayne Shorter Quartet, Anoushka Shankar och Tony Allen till festivalen som p\u00e5g\u00e5r 6-15 juli 2012.<\/p>\n

H\u00e4r pressmeddelandet fr\u00e5n K\u00f6penhamns jazzfestival:
\n\"\"<\/a>Legendary sax player Wayne Shorter (US), sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar (IN), and afrobeat inventor Tony Allen (NG) will all be playing at this summer\u2019s Copenhagen Jazz Festival. Also, three new festival posters have been revealed.<\/p>\n

The poster has been an important part of Copenhagen Jazz Festival since 1980. Every year a new artist is commissioned to design the poster. A tradition that throughout the years has resulted in very varied expressions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s festival posters are done by graphic designer Leo Scherfig and consist of three improvisational snapshots,\u201d says festival director Signe Lopdrup, \u201cAs such, the motive transcends the poster as a single piece of art and illustrates a new visual dimension that will meet people at this year\u2019s festival. The idea is to add an improvisational visual dimension to selected shows during the festival in the form of vj sets, lights and video artists that will interact with \u2013 and hopefully reinforce \u2013 the musical improvisation that is essential to jazz and makes up the festival\u2019s beating heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

3 continents \u2013 3 very different musical visions
\nThe first batch of names for the festivals spans no less than three continents as well as three very different musical visions. 78 year old American Wayne Shorter \u2013 widely considered to be one of the most significant saxophonists in jazz history \u2013 will be playing at The Royal Theater. Indian sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar will play at the beautiful Koncerthuset, and Nigerian afrobeat icon Tony Allen will set the dancefloor grooving at Store Vega. Tickets for Wayne Shorter and Anoushka Shankar are already on sale, while tickets for Tony Allen will be available for sale on April 11.<\/p>\n

With the unveiling of the new visual theme and the three headliners, this summer\u2019s festival is well on its way. Like previous years the festival will overflow the city with major concert hall events, packed club experiences and a host of outdoor delights \u2013 many of them free. Likewise, visitors will once more be meet with special themes like the much loved Something Else, Jazz for Kids, Classic Jazz Tributes and Jazz by the Sea. The major concerts will be held at The Royal Theater, Koncerthuset in \u00d8restad and for the first time in many years Store Vega. All in all it looks like the festival once again will top previous achievements regarding the number of concerts and venues. The support from venues, cafes and organizers this year has been massive and visitors can look forward to an increased activity in the areas of town just outside city.<\/p>\n

Copenhagen Jazz Festival takes place July 6 to July 15. For general information about the festival, look further down. The posters are available for download in high resolution at www.jazz.dk. The full festival programme will be announced during the next couple of months.<\/p>\n
