9 July 2024 Copenhagen: Sophisticated Ladies Jam

 


We wanted to go to this concert because this is the only time that this group plays during the day.  As a bonus this is the only free concert that they have.  It was a smart choice as we really enjoyed the show.  The venue was funky.  There was a small space for the band on the sidewalk that extends along the canal.  Then there was a series of tables stretched out along the canal and a line of chairs set up across the street.  We had our own chairs so we set up right by the band.  We were only in the street a little bit.  As these places filled in, folks lined up along the canal behind the band and leaned on the cars across the street.  Sitting right next to the drummer was a delight for us as she used the sticks unlike any other drummer we had seen.  At one point she just used her hands on the drums and at another point she waded into the crowd and played the glasses, bottles and anything else she could reach.  The played two sets and each one was great.  We had time to spare before the next concert so we strolled through Christiana.  Every time we go there we see something different.

Christiana is an enigma.  Some parts are delightful and others look like this
