Kitit's jazzy birthday


Monday was Kitit's birthday. We had a belly-bursting lunch with Mariel at Samos, then hopped over to three venues for the Copenhagen Jazz Festival.

At Frederiksberg Have near the Rundel, we sat on the grass and listened to the melodious soothing voice of Sidsel Storm and the trio of musicians who make up her Kvartet.

We took a walk around the Garden, passing by the Palace and the Zoo. We took the 6A bus straight to Vor Frue Kirke Plads in the center of the city, where Delirium was playing almost deliriously. The band would turn standards into instrumental variations.

Nearby, at Højbro Plads, sharp seniors Stevedore Stompers regaled an equally advanced in age crowd. I was bobbing to the beat, but the audience was totally calm. Maybe I still have the festival spirit in me.
