Friday Jazz on the quay: Gustaf Ljunggren/Emil de Waal

Over five Fridays in the summer sun, you can listen to established names and young talents in a sublime selection from the styles of jazz! Enjoy a cold drink and get in the summer mood in front of the Diamond.

Two musicians, two temperaments, two energies meet and compliment each other

Their music brings us together. (…) They create small zones of curiosity and generosity. This is how Rune Lykkeberg, editor-in-chief of Dagbladet Information, writes about the album 'Mikroklima' (2025), the fourth album from the duo Gustaf Ljunggren/Emil de Waal.

Ever since the Black Diamond held its first Friday Jazz in 2020, the duo has been part of the summer programme. Their music is both relaxing and engaging, with room for the listener's imagination. Through their many years of work together, Gustaf Ljunggren and Emil de Waal have developed a sensitive musical language. A concert with Gustaf Ljunggren/Emil de Waal is a tribute to what is happening here and now.

Experience jazz on the quay every Friday from mid-June to mid-July

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.
