Friday Jazz on the quay: Grand Slam Organ Jazz trio
Get in the summer mood in the afternoon sun with a tribute to the organ jazz of the 50s and 60s - with free admission!
Over five Fridays in the summer sun, you can listen to established names and young talents in a sublime selection of jazz styles. Enjoy a cold drink and get in the summer mood in front of the Diamond.
Three talented jazz musicians
Grand Slam is swinging and outgoing bebop jazz with three of Denmark's most talented jazz musicians. The trio pays homage to the organ jazz trios of the 50s and 60s, such as George Benson, Grant Green and Wes Montgomery's trios. After Grand Slam's recent concert at Paradise Jazz Club, the host said: Now don't let it go to your heads, but good God you sound great!
Casper Christensen is one of Denmark's promising young talents, and in 2018 he was awarded the 'Fyn's Jazz Talent of the Year' prize.
Mads Søndergaard is a master of bebop, a true equilibrist on his Hammond, and he swings so that bebop legends rejoice in heaven.
Morten Hæsum's drumming unites the trio, and he manages to simultaneously kick the group in the rear when needed, and support and swing so that it all works out.

Every Friday from 13 June to 11 July, you can enjoy the afternoon sun on the quay in front of the Black Diamond, where we offer a jazzy Friday bar. In front of the Black Diamond, you have a front row seat to experience the characteristic Copenhagen summer life in the harbour canal, with music in your ears.
The café's pop-up bar serves wine, draft beer, cold drinks, snacks, light meals and a summer atmosphere.
The concerts start at 4 p.m. and last until 6 p.m. Please note, however, that the concert on 4 July starts at 5 p.m. and ends at 7 p.m.
