Bagge

Born: April 18, 1971

Karsten Bagge has, for nearly three decades, been among the most prominent jazz drummers in Denmark. He has been a regular sideman for leading bandleaders such as Thomas Clausen, Bob Rockwell, and Jørgen Emborg, and has left a distinct mark in collective projects like Schackmates and Gunde On Garner.

As a freelancer, he has performed with artists including Sinne Eeg, Jakob Fischer, Magnus Thuelund, and Kristin Korb, and both the DR Big Band and the Göteborg Wind Orchestra have benefited from his creative and musical drumming.

As a composer and bandleader, Karsten has released several critically acclaimed albums: Enfant Terrific (2011), Current (2014), and Groovements (2015) — the latter two featuring international heavyweights such as Kevin Hays, Scott Colley, and Aaron Parks. His most recent release is The Song Remains – A Jazz Tribute To Led Zeppelin (2024), where he casts a jazz light on classics from one of rock’s most iconic catalogs.
