Jazzkonkurrencen - Finale

Denmark boasts an impressive crop of young jazz talents, just waiting to be discovered. For many years, Jazzkonkurrencen (The Jazz Competition) has played a vital role in identifying and fostering the jazz stars of tomorrow. Think of names like Svaneborg Kardyb, Ginne Marker, Baryl, and Little North. At Jazz6000, they take great pride in shining a spotlight on the freshest, most vibrant branches of the jazz tree. That’s why they’ve long hosted Jazzkonkurrencen, organized in collaboration with JazzDanmark. As part of the competition, participating bands perform concerts at Dexter in Odense, Huset in Aalborg, and Alice in Copenhagen. While the final round is traditionally held at Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, the 2025 finale will take place at Godset in Kolding. We look forward to welcoming Denmark’s future jazz stars for an electrifying final show that’s more about participating and learning than winning. At Jazz6000, they cheer for all of them—and we hope you will too!

The names of the three selected bands and descriptions of their projects will be shared here as soon as they are announced by JazzDanmark.

Jazzkonkurrencen is organized and run by JazzDanmark in close partnership with four venues: Huset in Aalborg, Jazz6000 in Kolding, Musikhuset Dexter in Odense, and Alice in Copenhagen. The competition is primarily funded by the Gangsted Foundation.
