Flying Jazzman, jazz that swings…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After playing as a sideman for American and Danish jazz icons in the old school jazz, swing and New Orleans genre such as NOLA clarinetist Evan Christopher, Danish guitar virtuoso Jakob Fischer among others, pianist Jan Nielsen started his own band in 2016 under the name Flying Jazzman Quintet. The band plays the 30-40’s jazz standards in a fresh style with clear threads to the old days of swinging jazz from dance halls and small jazz clubs. In 2017 the band started working together with the Danish swing dance society and accommodated their repertoire to fit the national and international swing events in Denmark. Today the band is most often booked as sextet as well as Jan Nielsen has now started an organ combo as a tribute to the old school Hammond organ players Jimmy Smith and Jimmy McGriff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The musicians have all been handpicked from different backgrounds on the Danish music scene but all with a love for old school jazz music. Band leader Jan Nielsen’s piano playing are strongly influenced by the music of Oscar Peterson, Errol Garner and Gene Harris. Rosa Salamon, on upright bass delivers a steady Ray Brown pulse supplemented by the experienced drummer Haim Peskoff tickling the drums while Bo M\u00f8ller plays beautiful combing and bluesy solos on his guitar. The steady brass player is master blaster Storm Kleist known for his exquisite solo and combing on trombone and trumpet. The saxophone is usually performed with guest appearance by some of the best in the Danish jazzscene such as Jan Harbeck and S\u00f8ren H\u00f8st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The band is performing at most of the Danish jazzfestivals, jazz clubs and swing events, as well as playing at private and corporate events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
