Bagland has been one of the most prominent bands on the Danish jazz scene in recent years, representing and renewing the 'Scandinavian sound'.

With award-winning trumpeter Jakob Sørensen at the forefront, this is a concert that embraces both innovation and tradition - hope, joy, longing and melancholy.
