Mean Machine is a jazz manouche and swing quintet based in Copenhagen, and this gypsy jazz concert is a chance to hear the band live at Charlie Scott's, a venue in the city. The evening is set for February 7.
What to expect
The group is made up of five musicians:
- Jason Shooster and Mikkel Hermansen on guitars
- Ali Badreldin and Andrea Crespi on horns
- Thorbjørn Kaas on upright bass
Gypsy jazz, also called jazz manouche, blends a lively string-driven sound with swing rhythms, and the mix of guitars, horns and bass gives the music a warm, rhythmic feel. Dancers are welcome at the show, so the evening suits people who want to move as well as listen.
The visit
This is a good outing for anyone interested in live jazz in Copenhagen, whether you come alone, with friends, or as a dancer looking for an evening with music. Charlie Scott's is a live jazz venue, so the concert fits naturally into an evening out in the city.
