Jamsession – Andreas Toftemark, Andreas Møllerhøj & Nikolaj Bangsgaard

Sunday den 20. September kl. 9:00 pm - 1:00 am

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.

This Sunday, saxophonist Andreas Toftemark will be directing the music throughout the evening.

Anything can happen during a jazz performance, and La Fontaine is the perfect place to experience it.
