Jamsession - Claus Waidtløw, Andreas Svendsen & Daniel Franck — La Fontaine, Copenhagen

Free entry

La Fontaine on Kompagnistræde in Copenhagen hosts a Sunday jam session on 13 September 2026 at 21:00 with Claus Waidtløw, Andreas Svendsen and Daniel Franck. Denmark's oldest jazz club, founded in 1959, holds nearly 100 guests and is known for its jam sessions where musicians gather for spontaneous music. Entry is free. Waidtløw performs across several Danish cities this autumn and winter - including Aalborg, Holbæk, Frederikshavn, Sønderborg and Ålsgårde - but the Sunday sessions at La Fontaine remain a regular meeting point for Copenhagen's jazz musicians.
