Welcome to The Great Danish Songbook – a jazz record consisting of Danish classics from the 1930s to the 1960s. The title has a parallel to the term The Great American Songbook and thus a humorous little play on words, which in all modesty equates old Danish songs with the American jazz standards. The goal of the record is to present songs from the “Danish Song treasury” in a re-arranged mainstream swing jazz tradition.
