Jamsession – Claus Waidtløw, Jakob Roland & Daniel Sommer
Sunday den 7. December kl. 21:00 - 01:00
Over the past 50 years, La Fontaine has hosted numerous jazz musicians. Every Sunday, Copenhagen’s top musicians gather at La Fontaine for a jam session. And maybe some of the big-stage stars will show up and join in. Many jazz legends have played on La Fontaine’s small ‘after-hours’ stage, including Ben Webster, Wynton Marsalis, and Lady Gaga.
Claus Waidtløw will be hosting the session this evening.
Anything can happen during a jazz performance, and La Fontaine is the perfect place to experience it.
