Jakob is still amazed by the ability of jazz to constantly transform itself as an art form.


Like countless others, I first fell in love with jazz when a friend introduced me to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. This album became the start of a journey that took me into the many wonderful corners of the world that is jazz. No matter the genre, be it avant-garde, mainstream or modern, I seek the music that touches the heart and soothes the soul.

For some time, I have written articles and reviews for the music magazine Geiger, covering the Danish jazz scene as well as writing about modern composition and rock music.

I currently live in the city of Odense, the home of the famous poet and author H.C. Andersen. If you stop by, please visit the Jazzhouse Dexter, one of the truly memorable jazz clubs in Denmark.
