One of the nice things about Copenhagen is the Jazz Scene that almost explodes every summer at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival. A week of great music - jazz of all sorts - playing all around town. Some years back, around 2001 a concept of Winter Jazz all around Denmark (Vinter Jazz) was created, based on Odense Vinter Jazz and concerts within a 10 day timespan all over Denmark, at the end of January started.
