Kvartetten med violinisten Bjarke Falgren i front rammer lytteren i hjertet med deres musik, som er levende og sanselig men også følsom og legesyg. Og altid stærkt forankret i den universelt gode melodi. Stilen er forankret i swingende violinjazz, og er en rejse rundt i hele følelsesregistret. Fra det lyriske og melodiøse, til det virtuose, legende og svingende udtryk. Musikken tager udgangspunkt i jazzen og er krydret med elementer fra en verden af musik, herunder latin, folkemusik og den klassiske musik. Hvad skal jeg vide om dem? Bjarke Falgren kan få sin 300 år gamle sigøjnerviolin til at tale et følelsernes sprog. Som få kan han bringe smil og store følelser frem med sit udtryksfulde spil. Han blev i en ung alder nævnt af jazz-ikonet Svend Asmussen som sin arvtager, og har siden modtaget adskillige priser, herunder hele fire Danish Music Awards. Falgren er kendt for sin fantastiske teknik og evne til at få violinen til at synge medrivende. Han har optrådt såvel med store symfoniorkestre som i intime jazzklubber og turnerer flittigt i både Europa, Asien og Sydamerika. Falgren har netop udgivet sit andet album i eget navn, “Turkis”, der som farven symboliserer forbundethed. Hvad siger anmelderne? "Bjarke Falgren kæler lækkert og opmærksomt for tonerne fra sin violin. Hver enkelt tone får opmærksomhed, så den bliver til at tage og føle på. En tone er ikke bare noget, der sættes i gang og varer, til næste tone begynder. Den er en verden i sig selv.” - Thomas Michelsen, Politiken "Bjarke Falgren er en sjældent talentfuld, teknisk velfunderet og kunstnerisk vidtfavnende, rytmisk musiker. Jeg har altid set ham som en musikalsk mastermind, for sådan er hans autoritet på scenen: Han betager med den organiske lethed hvormed, han optræder. Med en forunderlig sans for det kulturelt særegne og en helt egen kant og karakter gør han violinen til talerør for sine egne følelser." - Ivan Rod, Gaffa. 🔴 Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 20:00 CET (SOLD OUT) See more > Se mere > 375 DKK 🔴 Thursday, September 24, 2026 at 20:00 CET (SOLD OUT) See more > Buki Yamaz - The Revival Oplev genopstandelsen af bandet bag 70'ernes fusionsbølge ved deres comeback på Montmartre Kim Sagild – Guitar Mikkel Nordsø – Guitar Oilly Wallace – Flute Kim Yarbrough – Bass Ethan Weisgard – Drums Ben Besiakov – Keyboards Tira Skamby – Percussion Kom og oplev genopstandelsen på Montmartre af 1970er-ikonet Buki Yamaz, der stod bag den vilde danske fussionsbølge og nu samles igen til tre intime aftner i festligt selskab med bl.a. Kim Sagild på guitar, Mikkel Nordsø på guitar og Oilly Wallace på tværføjle. Hvilken slags musik spiller de? Da den danske fusionsgruppe Buki Yamaz brød igennem i 1970’erne, ændrede de spillereglerne for, hvordan jazz kunne lyde i Danmark. Med deres unikke mix af humør, overskud og smittende latinrytmer formåede de at bygge bro mellem jazzens frie tøjler og rockens fede energi. Gruppen blander amerikansk jazz-funk-tradition med festlig latinamerikansk stemning, hvilket gør deres musik både rig på musikalske finesser, er medrivende og dansevenlig. Hvad skal jeg vide om dem? Buki Yamaz opnåede kultstatus i 70'erne: Deres debutalbum fra 1975 og opfølgeren Secondo står i dag som milepæle i dansk rytmisk musik. Gruppen var et af de mest efterspurgte livenavne og optrådte på alt fra de største festivaler til de mest intime jazzklubber. De fostrede desuden kæmpe danske musiknavne som Kasper Winding, Aske Bentzon og brødrene Mikkel og Klavs Nordsø. Her 50 år senere står de stadig som et genrestærkt og nysgerrigt orkester. Hvad siger anmelderne? "Buki Yamaz lærte danskerne at elske fusion. De spillede med en præcision og en glæde, der fik jazzen til at føles farlig og sexet igen." — MM (Musikmagasinet) "Ingen andre herhjemme kunne levere det samme rytmiske drive.

The Art at Montmartre Montmartre's famous and iconic mask wall created for the site in 1959 by the artist Mogens Gylling Hansen. Mogens Gylling (TV) 51 years later at the restoration of the wall in 2010. Mogens Gylling at the inauguration of the new incarnation of the mask wall during the jazz festival in July 2010. The wall of the masks is recreated again in 2024 in the spirit of Mogens Gylling by bassist Mathæus Bech, who in 2010 as a 15-year-old helped him hang them. Since Jazzhus Montmartre's opening in 1959, the club has been known for its unique artistic decoration. The iconic plaster masks on the left long side in particular attracted art lovers – and have been immortalised in thousands of photos and film recordings over the years. Here is a brief history of the art in the house. Mogens Gylling's wall of masks The Mask Wall in Montmartre particularly attracted attention from around the world as a unique piece of art. The masks were created for the club in 1959 by the then only 23-year-old sculptor Mogens Gylling-Hansen. He was a member of the avant-garde artist collective 6+2, who hung out in Montmartre and often paid their bills with art. The masks were a wild improvisation based on the classic theatre masks. In the 1970s, German TV made a broadcast about the masks in the 70s and their significance for the atmosphere in the club. When Montmartre closed in Store Regnegade in 1976 and moved to Nørregade until 1995, the masks disappeared - probably scattered in all corners of the world with an unknown fate. The masks were recreated in 2010 The driving force behind Montmartre's reopening in 2010, the journalist and entrepreneur who created, among others, NetDoktor and TV 2 Play, Rune Bech, however, persuaded the then 51-year-old Mogens Gylling to create a new incarnation of his famous work. Mogens Gylling's ten new masks were hung on the wall by the artist himself during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in July 2010 with the help of his son Tavs Gylling - an event that found its way to television and newspapers. In connection with the noise protection of Montmartre in 2023, the uninsulated, nubbed wall on which the two sets of masks hung from first 1959 and since 2010 unfortunately had to be removed. The masks were then briefly scattered among various temporary decorations in the club. Many guests called for the iconic work to be reassembled in its original place. The masks will be reassembled in 2024 In October 2024, a new knurled back wall for the masks was hand-formed by bassist Mathæus Bech. As Rune's son, he assisted Mogens Gylling's son Tavs in 2010 as a 15-year-old high school student by helping with the hanging and witnessed Gylling's deliberations on the work's new composition. He was thus well prepared to hang them in Gylling's spirit as in July 2010. An original mask appeared suddenly from the US Independently and out of the blue, one of the original masks from 1959 appeared one day at Montmartre in the post from the United States. Included in the parcel was a short handwritten note stating that it was now "time for the mask to return home". Nobody knows the story behind it or what happened to the other masks from 1959, but in November 2024 this one old original mask from 1959 has now got its own niche at the right side of Montmartre, just opposite the reincarnation from 2010. An original mask suddenly appeared in a package from the United States with a note that it should "return home". Jens Nordsø's large plaster relief was created for the club in 1959. It has survived everything and still hangs in Montmartre. Jens Nordsø's plaster relief Another of the members of artist collective 6+2 was Jens Nordsø , who, like Mogens Gylling, hung out in Montmartre with the great American jazz stars through the 60s. For the opening in 1959, Jens Nordsø (b. 1930) created Montmartre's large famous cubist plaster relief. He was original teacher and censor at the School of Artisans but later became especially known for his over 500 oil paintings and numerous record covers. As the only work, the large relief has survived all the house's many openings, closings and renovations, and today still hangs in Montmartre - for many years behind the bar but now on the right long side of the concert hall. Asmund Havsteen Mikkelsen during his ceiling decoration from 2012. It had to die in the soundproofing of the room in 2022, but in 2024 the artist recreated the work as a painting that hangs in Montmartre's bar. Asmund Havsteen Mikkelsen's new work In March 2012, Montmartre presented a 102 m2 abstract art decoration on the club's ceiling, supported by Realdania, and created by the Danish artist, Asmund Havsteen-Mikkelsen (b. 1977). Like Gylling's mesh wall, the work had to be taken down in connection with the noise protection of Montmartre in 2022. In November 2024, however, the pattern was recreated by the artist himself as a new unique painting that now hangs and adorns Montmartre's bar, building on a proud art tradition in the jazz house.

welcome to a famous address Store Regnegade 19a on the jazz world map since 1959 Since 1959, Jazzhus Montmartre has put Copenhagen on the jazz world map. The house is known and revered by jazz enthusiasts all over the world as one of the great destinations on a par with the Village Vanguard in New York and Ronnie Scott's in London. The adventure began on a small, intimate stage in Store Regnegade in a room with room for only 85 people. Nevertheless, the world's greatest jazz stars continued to come and play to enthusiastic audiences. The initiative for the club was originally taken by the architect Anders Dyrup , who gave up after a short time and handed the club over to the host Herluf Kamp-Larsen. Through the 60s and 70s he became the man who turned Montmartre into an internationally famous club. Especially the cozy atmosphere in Montmartre was the reason that 10-12 of the biggest international jazz stars settled in Copenhagen at the time. Among them top names such as Ben Webster, Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, Kenny Drew and many others who moved their lives across the Atlantic and made Montmartre their musical home. After a detour in 1976 to Nørregade under the renowned Jazz-Kay Sørensen until 1995, Montmartre reopened in 2010 at the original address in Store Regnegade on the initiative of the media man and entrepreneur behind, among other ventures, NetDoktor, Rune Bech. He received significant support from the former director of the Royal Theater and the former DR chairman Michael Christiansen . For the first time in the house's history, they now established Montmartre as a non-profit cultural institution under the auspices of an independent business foundation. Since the reopening in 2010, there have been over 2,500 concerts at the famous address. The room has been renovated a few times along the way, but the walls remember everything. Montmartre has been squeezed several times financially, as the house's survival depends on donations and support despite full houses due to high artistic ambitions combined with only having a capacity of 85 seats. But against many odds, Montmartre remains the place where jazz's biggest stars meet the most promising talents and magic happens. Opened in 1959 by ANDERS DYRUP It all began in 1959 with the 27-year-old architect Anders Dyrup, who, after organizing ad-hoc jazz concerts in various places in the city in the previous years, took the initiative for an actual club at the address Store Regnegade 19a. Here for many years there had been a restaurant (without jazz) called Café Montmartre. Unfortunately, the initiative only lasted 11 months, until Dyrup gave up after large losses and moved abroad to try his luck with record releases instead. Anders Dyrup sold the premises to a waiter from the then Café Nytorv, 42-year-old Herluf Kamp-Larsen, who had the courage to run a jazz club in his own way. It was to turn out to be the start of Montmartre's heyday and Herluf lasted until 1976. Montmartre's hallmark became especially its long tables. The house became one of Copenhagen's hippest but informal in-places through the 60s and 70s. Herluf Kamp-Larsen in front of Montmartre's famous mask wall in Store Regnegade, created by the artist Mogens Gylling. Dexter Gordon on the right with a very young NHØP on bass on the left. The years under Herluf Kamp-Larsen’s leadership With Herluf's takeover and reopening in 1961 after a lengthy rebuild, Montmartre had fallen into ambitious hands. Former waiter and art lover Herluf Kamp-Larsen really turned Jazzhus Montmartre into a world-renowned brand. The house was filled with unique art, warmth and top artists. Under his leadership, Jazzhus Montmartre became the capital's and all of Europe's jazz mecca at a time when jazz was reborn and hip after the release of, for example, Miles Davis' seminal album "Kind of Blue". In the years up to 1976, the jazz club became one of the leaders in Europe with the world's best jazz, because he brought especially American jazz stars to Copenhagen. They loved the city and the club because of the close and friendly atmosphere. Many of them were black and found Copenhagen more welcoming than the USA of the 60s. Therefore, many of them ended up staying here and settling down. Dexter Gordon got a terraced house in Valby, Ben Webster lived in Nansensgade and Kenny Drew on Åboulevarden. "Why are all the jazz stars moving to Copenhagen," asked jazz fans all over the world? "Montmartre," was the reply. At the same time, the stars from the stage in Montmartre inspired a whole generation of young Danish jazz musicians, who later became some of our biggest jazz names. For example, the bassists Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, Mads Vinding, Jesper Lundgaard and Bo Stief, as well as the drummer Alex Riel, the trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg and many more. In short, they were trained on the stage of Montmartre. Other jazz legends who played at Herluf's Montmartre include Roland Kirk, Joe Harris, Buddy Tate, Coleman Hawkins, Don Byas, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, Cecil Taylor, Brew Moore, Harold Goldberg, Lucky Thompson, Archie Shepp, Johnny Griffin, Art Taylor, Booker Ervin, Albert Ayler, Dollar Brand (Abdullah Ibrahim), Don Cherry, Rune Gustafsson, Albert "Tootie" Heath, Eli Thompson, Sonny Rollins, Yusef Lateef, George Russell, Teddy Wilson, Paul Bley, Bill Evans, Eddie Gómez, Richard Boone, Herbie Hancock, Eddie Henderson, Billy Hart, Keith Jarrett, Miroslav Vitous, Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, Lee Konitz, Louis Jordan, Charles Mingus, Ken McIntyre, Nat Adderley, Donald Byrd, Tony Williams, Lou Bennett, Phil Woods, Charles McPherson and Dizzy Gillespie. Need we say more?! Store Regnegade 19a became an iconic address in global jazz history. The years in Nørregade UNDER JAZZ-KAY In 1976, Montmartre moved to Nørregade 41 under new management - host Jazz-Kay Sørensen, who took over ownership. Artistically he was assisted by Niels Christensen as music director with assistance from Lars Thorborg . The three went on to develop Montmartre into one of the most significant jazz scenes in Europe, where stars such as Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Oscar Peterson, Nancy Wilson, Betty Carter, Elvin Jones, the Brecker Brothers and many others came and played an address with room for more. At the same time, Montmartre presented new exciting names in world music such as Milton Nascimento, Gilberto Gil, Djavan, Tania Maria, Youssou N'Dour, and King Sunny Adé, and also funk/soul artists such as James Brown, Tower of Power, and Gil Scott-Heron. At the weekends, the jazz room transformed into the extremely popular 'Natdisk', which attracted an audience of dancing-loving Copenhageners. It also served as the financial foundation for the club's strong jazz profile, which cost a lot of money and rarely made a profit. Montmartre thus also became a strong brand among many in the nightlife, regardless of musical taste. In 1988, Kay Sørensen died of a cerebral haemorrhage, and Montmartre was briefly sold to hotel owner Eli Pries, who, however, found it difficult to maintain the club's traditional mix of art and commercial considerations. In 1992, the musician Anne Linnet took over the place and changed the profile to mainly pop and rock. However, without success. The club closed in 1995 and the story of Montmartre was over, it was thought. But it was only for a while.

Rune Bech was director for ten years until January 2020, and returned to the hot seat in August 2024. (Photo: Maria Sattrup) The reopening in Store Regnegade BY RUNE BECH in 2010 After a 15-year hibernationn after the closure in Nørregade, the media executive and entrepreneur Rune Bech took the initiative in 2010 to reopen Montmartre at the original address at Store Regnegade 19a, when the premises became vacant and the opportunity was there. Rune Bech dreamed of giving Montmartre a new heyday at the old historic premises writing jazz history. After creating the internet company NetDoktor in 1998 and establishing TV 2 Play in 2006 as TV 2's long-serving digital head, he donated the funds to start the house up again - and personally stepped into the role of the place's primary driving force for over ten years. Together with board chairman Michael Christiansen, former director of the Royal Theatre and chairman of DR, the new Montmartre was established on a non-profit basis - primarily run by volunteers. Read the whole story about the reopening in the magazine Jazz Special here . The reopening in 2010 resonated all over the world, and the house quickly placed itself back on the world map as one of Copenhagen's top attractions: the New York Times put Montmartre on its list of places worth visiting in the city in an article under the heading 'Rebirth of Cool'. For 10 years until 2020, Rune Bech was an unpaid part-time director of the venue, and then continued on the board. In August 2024, Rune Bech re-entered as head of the house, when Montmartre was in financial crisis after a disappointing and unexpected rejection of financial support from The Danish Arts Council as a regional music venue. Culture Minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt came to the house's rescue with a temporary rescue, and the minister promised at the same time to work on a more permanent solution. THE ARTISTIC DIRECTORS The reopened Montmartre in Store Regnegade has had four artistic directors since 2010. In the first eight months after the reopening in 2010, the pianist Niels Lan Doky acted as music director until he (briefly) opened a competitor in Havnegade, and was replaced in the post by Benjamin Koppel . Then Christian Brorsen followed for some years. Since 2016, the house's artistic director has been the internationally known Swedish jazz pianist Jan Lundgren . In addition to managing the artistic profile of Montmartre, Jan Lundgren continues to play on some of the world's biggest stages and is also the manager of the Ystad Jazz Festival. Behind Jan Lundgren is an Artistic Council consisting of: Cæcilie Nordby , jazz vocalist, Morten Lund , drummer, Kathrine Windfeld , composer, pianist and orchestra leader, Mathias Heise , harmonica, as well Steen Rasmussen , composer and pianist.

The art at Montmartre Mogens Gylling's mask wall Montmartre became known for its unique artistic decoration in the 1960s. In particular, the plaster masks on the left long side became particularly iconic for the jazz club. The masks were created in 1959 by the artist Mogens Gylling Hansen (b. 1935 and then 23 years old) and attracted attention from all over the world as a special work. They were a wild improvisation on the classical theater masks. At one point in the 70s, German TV made an entire program about the masks because they attracted art tourists from all over the world. When Montmartre closed in 1976, the masks disappeared, presumably scattered to all winds - their fate is uncertain. However, the driving force behind Montmartre's reopening in 2010, Rune Bech, persuaded the then 51 year older Mogens Gylling to recreate his famous work with a twist in a new incarnation of the iconic mesh wall. Mogens Gylling's ten new masks were hung back on the wall by the artist himself during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in July 2010 - an event that attracted great media interest and was featured on Danish TV. In connection with the noise protection in 2023, the uninsulated wall, on which the masks from 1959 and 2010 hung, had to go. The masks were then briefly placed among other decorations in the club in the form of notice boards, record covers and hand drawings in changing frames. However, many guests called for the iconic work to be reassembled in its original place. During one week in October 2024, a new artistic wall was created by hand by bassist Mathæus Bech. As the son of Rune Bech aged 15 as a high school student in 2010, he helped Mogens Gylling hang the masks. He witnessed Gylling's reflections on the work and the placement of the masks in relation to each other. Thus, the work was reassembled and recreated as a whole at the original place in respect of Mogens Gylling's intentions. Jens Nordsø's plaster relief In 1959, the artist Jens Nordsø (b. 1930) created Montmartre's famous plaster relief. Like Gylling, he was a member of the Kunstnerner collective 6+2, which hung out in Montmartre in the 1960s. For several years he was a teacher and censor at the Art and Crafts School and since then became especially known for his over 500 oil paintings as well as numerous record covers for Metronome and Storyville. The large relief has survived all the house's many openings, closings and renovations, and today still hangs in Montmartre (on the right long side of the concert hall). Asmund Havsteen Mikkelsen's new work In March 2012, Montmartre presented a 102 m2 abstract art decoration on the club's ceiling, supported by Realdania, and created by the Danish artist, Asmund Havsteen Mikkelsen (b. 1977), who was then living in Berlin. Like the mesh wall, the work had to be taken down in connection with the noise protection of Montmartre in 2022. In November 2024, however, it was recreated by the artist himself as a new unique painting that now hangs and adorns Montmartre's bar, building on a proud artistic tradition in the house. Montmartre today Montmartre's existence and survival as jazz's internationally known national scene in Denmark has never been easy. And is by no means a given. The years from 2020 to 2024 in particular were extraordinarily tough. At first Corona hit not just Montmartre but all cultural institutions. And then in 2022, Montmartre had to temporarily close due to an order from the Municipality of Copenhagen regarding noise nuisance for the neighbors in the old residential property in which Montmartre is home. However, they managed to draw up a plan for new soundproofing, and a number of foundations contributed to make the renovation possible, including Realdania, the Augustinus Foundation, a generous landlord and several other generous donors. With only 85 seats and an international level of ambition, the small cultural institution in Store Regnegade really does not hold together on a private financial basis. The house has only a few paid employees and is predominantly run by voluntary labour. But almost 200 annual concerts at a high level in an intimate setting come at a cost. Every year, the house has to travel approx. DKK 3 million in support to continue. The total budget is DKK 8 million. DKK, of which DKK 5 million can be obtained from ticket sales and bar income. Copenhagen Municipality's Culture and Leisure Committee has decided for four years until 2028 to cover half of Montmartre's hole. Meanwhile, Culture Minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt is working on a way in which the State can close the rest of the gap after 2025 and secure Montmartre's role as the national jazz scene in Denmark in the long run. Without Denmark's many small and large private charitable foundations, Montmartre would have closed long ago. They have supported many times along the way and ensured that the music continues to play.

And then in 2022, Montmartre had to temporarily close due to an order from the Municipality of Copenhagen regarding noise nuisance for the neighbors in the old residential property in which Montmartre is home. However, they managed to draw up a plan for new soundproofing, and a number of foundations contributed to make the renovation possible, including Realdania, the Augustinus Foundation, a generous landlord and several other generous donors. With only 85 seats and an international level of ambition, the small cultural institution in Store Regnegade really does not hold together on a private financial basis. The house has only a few paid employees and is predominantly run by voluntary labour. But almost 200 annual concerts at a high level in an intimate setting come at a cost. Every year, the house has to travel approx. DKK 3 million in support to continue. The total budget is DKK 8 million. DKK, of which DKK 5 million can be obtained from ticket sales and bar income. Copenhagen Municipality's Culture and Leisure Committee has decided for four years until 2028 to cover half of Montmartre's hole. Meanwhile, Culture Minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt is working on a way in which the State can close the rest of the gap after 2025 and secure Montmartre's role as the national jazz scene in Denmark in the long run. Without Denmark's many small and large private charitable foundations, Montmartre would have closed long ago. They have supported many times along the way and ensured that the music continues to play.

Oplev en intens duo-koncert, når disse to musikere i verdensklasse skaber et fælles univers, hvor violinen og bandoneonen smelter sammen i en virtuos dialog. Deres musik spænder fra det dybe og følelsesladede til det eksplosivt livsbekræftende. Det er en smuk blanding af kammerjazz og middelhavs-temperament, som trækker tråde til både den argentinske tango, den nordiske spillemandstradition og jazzens improvisatoriske frihed. Hvad skal jeg vide om dem? Den danske violinist Bjarke Falgren blev i en ung alder nævnt af jazz-ikonet Svend Asmussen som sin arvtager og har modtaget adskillige priser, herunder hele fire Danish Music Awards. Falgren er kendt for sin utrolige teknik og sin evne til at få violinen til at synge i alle tænkelige genrer. Den eminente italienske multikunstner Paolo Russo har gjort Danmark til sin base og er i dag anerkendt som en af verdens førende bandoneon-spillere. Han løfte instrumentet ud over tangoens rammer og ind i både jazz og klassisk musik med stor succes. Hvad siger anmelderne? "Mødet mellem Falgren og Russo er som en samtale mellem to gamle venner, der taler et sprog, vi andre kun kan drømme om. Det er smukt, intenst og dybt originalt." — Jazz Special "Svend Asmussen tog ikke fejl: Falgren er en mester. Og i Paolo Russo har han fundet den perfekte legekammerat til at udforske musikkens yderkanter." — Dagbladet Information 🔴 Friday, September 18, 2026 at 20:00 CET (SOLD OUT) See more > Se mere > 375 DKK 🔴 Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 20:00 CET (SOLD OUT) See more > Bjarke Falgren Band Levende og sanselig violinjazz, som på en gang er følsom og legesyg Bjarke Falgren - Violin/viola Heine Hansen - Piano Morten Lundsby - Bass Anders Holm - Drums Hvilken slags jazz spiller de? Kvartetten med violinisten Bjarke Falgren i front rammer lytteren i hjertet med deres musik, som er levende og sanselig men også følsom og legesyg. Og altid stærkt forankret i den universelt gode melodi. Stilen er forankret i swingende violinjazz, og er en rejse rundt i hele følelsesregistret. Fra det lyriske og melodiøse, til det virtuose, legende og svingende udtryk. Musikken tager udgangspunkt i jazzen og er krydret med elementer fra en verden af musik, herunder latin, folkemusik og den klassiske musik. Hvad skal jeg vide om dem? Bjarke Falgren kan få sin 300 år gamle sigøjnerviolin til at tale et følelsernes sprog. Som få kan han bringe smil og store følelser frem med sit udtryksfulde spil. Han blev i en ung alder nævnt af jazz-ikonet Svend Asmussen som sin arvtager, og har siden modtaget adskillige priser, herunder hele fire Danish Music Awards. Falgren er kendt for sin fantastiske teknik og evne til at få violinen til at synge medrivende. Han har optrådt såvel med store symfoniorkestre som i intime jazzklubber og turnerer flittigt i både Europa, Asien og Sydamerika. Falgren har netop udgivet sit andet album i eget navn, “Turkis”, der som farven symboliserer forbundethed. Hvad siger anmelderne? "Bjarke Falgren kæler lækkert og opmærksomt for tonerne fra sin violin. Hver enkelt tone får opmærksomhed, så den bliver til at tage og føle på. En tone er ikke bare noget, der sættes i gang og varer, til næste tone begynder. Den er en verden i sig selv.” - Thomas Michelsen, Politiken "Bjarke Falgren er en sjældent talentfuld, teknisk velfunderet og kunstnerisk vidtfavnende, rytmisk musiker. Jeg har altid set ham som en musikalsk mastermind, for sådan er hans autoritet på scenen: Han betager med den organiske lethed hvormed, han optræder. Med en forunderlig sans for det kulturelt særegne og en helt egen kant og karakter gør han violinen til talerør for sine egne følelser." - Ivan Rod, Gaffa. 🔴 Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 20:00 CET (SOLD OUT) See more > Se mere > 375 DKK 🔴 Thursday, September 24, 2026 at 20:00 CET (SOLD OUT) See more > Buki Yamaz - The Revival Oplev genopstandelsen af bandet bag 70'ernes fusionsbølge ved deres comeback på Montmartre Kim Sagild – Guitar Mikkel Nordsø – Guitar Oilly Wallace – Flute Kim Yarbrough – Bass Ethan Weisgard – Drums Ben Besiakov – Keyboards Tira Skamby – Percussion Kom og oplev genopstandelsen på Montmartre af 1970er-ikonet Buki Yamaz, der stod bag den vilde danske fussionsbølge og nu samles igen til tre intime aftner i festligt selskab med bl.a. Kim Sagild på guitar, Mikkel Nordsø på guitar og Oilly Wallace på tværføjle. Hvilken slags musik spiller de? Da den danske fusionsgruppe Buki Yamaz brød igennem i 1970’erne, ændrede de spillereglerne for, hvordan jazz kunne lyde i Danmark. Med deres unikke mix af humør, overskud og smittende latinrytmer formåede de at bygge bro mellem jazzens frie tøjler og rockens fede energi. Gruppen blander amerikansk jazz-funk-tradition med festlig latinamerikansk stemning, hvilket gør deres musik både rig på musikalske finesser, er medrivende og dansevenlig. Hvad skal jeg vide om dem? Buki Yamaz opnåede kultstatus i 70'erne: Deres debutalbum fra 1975 og opfølgeren Secondo står i dag som milepæle i dansk rytmisk musik. Gruppen var et af de mest efterspurgte livenavne og optrådte på alt fra de største festivaler til de mest intime jazzklubber. De fostrede desuden kæmpe danske musiknavne som Kasper Winding, Aske Bentzon og brødrene Mikkel og Klavs Nordsø. Her 50 år senere står de stadig som et genrestærkt og nysgerrigt orkester. Hvad siger anmelderne? "Buki Yamaz lærte danskerne at elske fusion. De spillede med en præcision og en glæde, der fik jazzen til at føles farlig og sexet igen." — MM (Musikmagasinet) "Ingen andre herhjemme kunne levere det samme rytmiske drive. De var Danmarks svar på Weather Report, men med en helt særlig nordisk lethed i melodierne." — Politiken 🔴 Thursday, September 24, 2026 at 20:00 CET (SOLD OUT) See more > Se mere > 420 DKK Bjarke Falgren & Paolo Russo En lidenskabelig duo spiller gribende og passioneret verdensmusik 🔴 Friday, September 18, 2026 at 20:00 CET (SOLD OUT) S̲e̲e̲ m̲o̲r̲e̲ >̲ Bjarke Falgren Band Levende og sanselig violinjazz, som på en gang er følsom og legesyg 🔴 Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 20:00 CET (SOLD OUT) S̲e̲e̲ m̲o̲r̲e̲ >̲ Buki Yamaz - The Revival Oplev genopstandelsen af bandet bag 70'ernes fusionsbølge ved deres comeback på Montmartre 🔴 Thursday, September 24, 2026 at 20:00 CET (SOLD OUT) S̲e̲e̲ m̲o̲r̲e̲ >̲ WORLD CLASS JAZZ SINCE 1959 - NON-PROFIT SINCE 2010

COLLABS På Jazzhus Montmartre formidles jazzens univers og historie i en sammenhæng, der gør den nutidig og relevant i forhold til den tid, vi lever i. Vores små, intime rammer, giver en særlig intensitet og autenticitet i oplevelsen. Montmartre samarbejder med forskellige partnere om koncerter på andre lokationer end lokalerne i St. Regnegade. Da vores eget lokale kun kan rumme 85-100 koncertgæster, indgår vi nogle gange samarbejder med andre som har større lokaler, der egner sig til flere gæster og samtidig kan fastholde høj kvalitet i koncertlyden. Derudover arbejder vi på at øge forståelsen af jazzmusikken ved at afholde workshops og undervisningsforløb med børn og unge og deres uddannelsesinstitutioner. På den måde bliver præsenteres en ny generation for jazzmusikken i relevante rammer, hvor fokus er på både musikoplevelsen, det historiske og en musikalsk bearbejdning: Daginstitutioner, hvor musikerne tager ud til den enkelte institution og formidler jazzmusikken i et særligt egnet format – uden at tale ned til børnenes kunstneriske sans. Uddannelsesinstitutioner, hvor vi samarbejder med især musiklærere på gymnasier mv. Her tilstræbes det, at musikerne bliver en del af et undervisningsforløb, hvor de sammen med de studerende arbejder med jazzens forskellige udtryk. Forløbet afsluttes med en koncert i Jazzhus Montmartres lokaler i Store Regnegade. Workshops for børn og familier, hvor børnene præsenteres for jazzmusikken. Alt for få børn oplever den levende musik, og vi ønsker at børn oplever det indtryk og den særlig effekt, musik har på sanserne. Vi vil have aktiviteter i egne lokaler, men også i daginstitutionerne i samarbejde med dem og jazzmusikerne. Vi samarbejder også med JazzDanmark, hvor vi bl.a. udvælger deltager og afholder Jazzkonkurrencens finale i Jazzhus Montmartre. Læs mere her
