about
The band started out as a "spare time band" in 1996, but very quickly they became quite popular in and around Copenhagen. The band has been playing at Copenhagen Jazz festival, Allinge Jazz festival and Femø Jazz festival for several years now. Furthermore, Jazz Five are regular guests at Long John in Copenhagen, where they are featured at least once a month. In spite of their relative youth (ranging from 24 to 26 years of age), Jazz Five prefer playing a mix of traditional jazz, swing and New Orleans funk, resulting in the self-invented genre named "Happy Party New Orleans Jazz" featuring loads of energy, funky passages and a s***load of fun. For inspiration they tend to look to Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino, Louis Prima, SP-Just-Frost, Dizzy Gillespie and Chuck Berry, just to mention a few. Jazz Five cannot be described simply as a stage band, as they honor the tradition of surprising the audience with every performance. With a show in which nothing has been planned you can never tell what will happen, as each member of the band lets his immense joy of playing shine through all the way.
