Phew! That was the end of 2017! a year of much ambivalence. On the good side: Mandagsklubben is growing and growing. We have had amazing concerts every monday year round. we have had amazing audiences! and we are booked until august 2018 of more amazing stuff. We also won a Danish Music Award. It really feels like Mandagsklubben is a place where we can meet and be ourselves and celebrate each others creativity. yeah!!! and its a place of unity which by its very existence is directly dismissing any attempts of polarization of our scene. On the bad side we lost some of the masters of the music, some of the artists directly responsible for the freedom we experience today. Many have passed on...have to mention Sunny Murray, Muhal Richard Abrams, Roswell Rudd, Micha Mengelberg, Charles Bobo Shaw and Phil Cohran. And at home we lost one of our greatest musicians, brother Nicolai Munch Hansen....

And at home we lost one of our greatest musicians, brother Nicolai Munch Hansen.
We are happy to announce that our January artist in residence is the incredible pianist, singer and composer Johanna Borchert! She has recently returned to the Copenhagen scene after 8 years in Berlin, her place of origin. Loved by audiences as a deeply original and complex performer in such (now legendary) bands as Little Red Suitcase and Schneeweiss & Rosenrot, she has since then added prizewinning singersongwriter to her list of merits. She has worked with Fred Frith, Shahzad Ismaily, Peter Bruun, Jonas Westergaard, Elena Setien and Chris Brown.
In 2014 She launched a career as an alternative pop singer, releasing "Fm Biography" and won the prestigious ECHO award for it and in 2017 "Love or Emptiness" came out, causing critics to compare her to Kate Bush. She has also made a beautiful solo keyboard album called "Orchestra Ideal" She has decided to use her Mandagsklubben residency to make new musical acquaintances and celebrate old relationships. We are very proud to welcome this unique artist back to Denmark and into Mandagsklubben!!!!
kl 20 Jonatan Bak group
Jedrzej Lagodzinski - tenor sax
Torben Snekkestad - tenor sax and more
Tomo Jacobsen - bass
Jonatan Bak - bass
Kresten Osgood - drums
since returning from New York City a few months ago Jonatan Bak has been making waves in our town. He played an amazing solo show at the club in november and debuted a monster quintet together with Arvid Ingvarsson that same month. Here is yet another incredible band. This time featuring twin reed players Lagodzinski and Snekkestad - both highly expressive players, bass colleague Tomo Jacobson - who we know and love from his many performances at the monday club and our own Kresten Osgood on the drums.
kl 21Johanna Borchert / Stan Callewaert / Alex Dawo / Kresten Osgood
Johanna Borchert - piano
Stan Callewaert - bass
Alex Dawo - bass
Kresten Osgood - drums
For her first residency concert Johanna Borchers has invited and old friend...you guessed it...Kresten Osgood to play with her. Joining them are two of the absolute best young bassists in Europe today!. from Germany: Alexander Dawo and representing Belgium: Stan Callewaert. this will be a real treat. Free improvisation for the future
kl 22 Nacho Cordoba / Kresten Osgood the duo!!!
Nacho Cordoba - electronic device of his own design
Kresten Osgood - drums of his own choice
Mr Cordoba has been living in Copenhagen for less than a year and has already become an important part of the puzzle with his very personal small sounds. While still in Spain he started performing at the Monday club as Fuego and working with such Copenhageners as Asger Thomsen in the duo Paula. This is a much anticipated meeting with Danish drummer Kresten Osgood. it will be small and big, abstract and concrete---and maybe none of those things. just be there!
kl 23 Piotrowicz/Callewaert/Justesen
Kamil Piotrowicz - piano
Jeppe Høi Justesen - drums
Stan Callewaert - double bass
Piotrowicz/Callewaert/Justesen is a Polish/Belgian/Danish trio based in Copenhagen. They play hyper-intuitive improvised music, often inspired by imaginary situations, architectural spaces and textures. Extracting and deconstructing sonic impressions from the outside world, industrialisation and nature, they reconstruct their own universe that breathes and grows as a living organism. By transcending stylistic restrictions and conventional techniques they manage to obtain a sound that far exceeds the borders of the piano-trio as we know it.
kl 24 Kimestad / Osgood / Pfeil
Erik Kimestad - trumpet
Tobias Pfeil - guitar/sax/vox
Kresten Osgood - drums
This new exiting trio consists of two of Norways best new improvisers and Danish giant Kresten Osgood. These three very advanced players have worked together in various constellations but never in a trio before. This will be something to remember. stay up late. stay awake and be awoken
