Yes! Its the Monday Band at 7pm each monday until the end of time. The Monday Band was formed to focus on playing improvised music in a large ensemble and draws its members from the large vibrant group of improvisers in town and passing through. The idea is to have a international band with a open constellation which connects the improvising scene in Copenhagen and performs every week. The band will play minimal compositions, improvising concepts and graphic scores composed and arranged by the members of the band. the band will have a flexible lineup each week but with a core group of artists consistently there. Copenhagen has long needed a place where a steady workshop band could experiment with improvising in a large ensemble and the MondayClub is the place to do it so welcome to THE MONDAY BAND

New exiting trio by the great saxophonist Henrik Pultz Melbye. Peter Friis Nielsen is an innovator on the electric bass and Claus Bøje is a joy to hear with his unique touch and abstract approach. This is one of the hottest rhythm sections in town with a strong voice on the sax. should be a real gem!

kl 22 Jaimie Branch / Herb Robertson / Tristan Honsinger / Kresten Osgood
Jaimie Branch - trumpet
Herb Robertson - trumpet
Tristan Honsinger - cello
Kresten Osgood - drums
a very exiting quartet consisting of two of the worlds leading improvisors on the trumpet. Robertson has been doing it for 40 years and has worked with everything from Tim Berne, Paul Motian and Joey Baron to Barry Guy, Evan Parker and Joe Lovano. in his own category when it comes to creating excitement on the trumpet. Branch has been on the scene for 10 years. She is out of the Chicago scene and is known for her work with Chad Taylor, Chris Pitsiokos and Tomeka Reid. She has shown new directions in brass despite her young age.
There is only one Tristan Honsinger. A giant of European improvisation (although he is actually american) representing a huge body of work with the likes of Cecil Taylor and Derek Bailey ..and literally hundreds more. Kresten Osgood has collaborated with Paul Bley, Yusef Lateef, Sam Rivers, Masabumi Kikuchi and many others
kl 23 Mat Maneri / Randy Peterson / Alex Dawo / Kresten Osgood / Eliot Cardinaux
Mat Maneri - viola
Randy Peterson - drums
Alex Dawo - bass
Kresten Osgood - drums
Eliot Cardinaux - piano
3 years ago this group played the Copenhagen Jazzfestival (with Ed Schuller on bass instead of Dawo) as the Kresten Osgood Quintet. They investigate an intimate form of improvisation using microtonalism and micro rhythms. Mat Maneri is in his own league as a viola player, Randy Peterson represents a lifetimes work of expanding the vocabulary of the drums, Cardinaux is a highly original pianist and poet out of the Boston area, Dawo is a very sensitive bassist and Osgood is well represented at the monday club
