It’s February which means it’s time for Vinterjazz Festival once more!
Last night we kicked things off with a skewed heavy mixture of math rock, jazzy playfulness and post modern punkjazz where Town Portal and Jeppe Zeeberg and the Absolute Pinnacle of Human Achievement brought the house down! For the rest of the month we got six more Vinterjazz shows for you, if you dare……

10/02: Agabas [NO] + Oxx - Death Jazz & Avanthardcore
About: Extreme metal and jazz in disgusting harmony. It's called deathjazz and, yes, it is as insane as it sounds. The roaring jazz saxophone solos its way across landscapes of blast beats and chugging just as effortlessly as it joins in on the groovy guitar riffs, creating a unique dynamic of metal and jazz that can only be described as the Agabas experience. Oxx is a danish avant-hardcore band; a distillation of it’s three members’ diverse backgrounds in genres as diverse as bluegrass, death metal, free-folk and film scoring all filtered through the confrontational aggression of hardcore. The result is a maelstrom of undulating tempos and meters, relentless vocal frenzy and flailing limbs.

15/02: The Lovecraft Sextet [NL] + Special Guest: ANGST Sessions [SE]
About: Join us for an atmospheric dark jazz journey when The Lovecraft Sextet with Jason Köhnen himself (Bong-Ra / Mansur / The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble / The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation) visit Stengade as part of the Vinterjazz Festival 2024. ANGST Sessions make slow dark repetitive melancholic avant garde music. During sessions with my modular instruments from Buchla & Serge finding interesting textures, timbres in spatial time and space. Recording one takers and multitrack on top of that and combine that with old wooden synths and string machines like minimoog, EMS Synthi, Solina… Drenched in tape delays, phaser, flanger, delay and reverb. Mimic nature's harsch and grim way of creating pulsating life and later decay and eternal darkness.
