For two weeks each summer Copenhagen celebrates its annual jazz festival, attracting a fantastic line-up of international performers.

The festival programme offers daily concerts, with performances taking place just about anywhere - from intimate clubs to concert halls, parks, shopping malls and boats, featuring anything from experimental Scandinavian artists to international superstars.

Highlights of the 2008 programme include free jazz sax legend Ornette Coleman, Wayne Shorter, Charles Lloyd, Saxophone Summit with Joe Lovano, Ravi Coltrane and Joe Liebman and pianist Brad Mehldau.

Since the event first took place in 1979, it has expanded to invade every corner of the city, including the old Helgoland bathing pier, the Frederiksberg Garden, the charming Konsistoriegårde courtyard and Christiania.
