Final Descent
Denmark
Приєднався 10 лют 2024
Spiritual, ecstatic, and devotional music in Copenhagen, Denmark.
With a strong emphasis on acoustic music, jazz, experimental electronic music, and roots music from around the world, Final Descent aims to create
immersive concert experiences in a positive atmosphere where the keywords are quality, diversity, inclusion, and experimentation.
Final Descent supports the local scene by expanding the borders, both geographically and artistically. We will go the extra mile to present something new, often paired with something we know, in unconventional and surprising ways.
Final Descent works with the concept of a third dimension, which is what happens when two supposedly binary poles create something third, either on, in front of, or around the stage.

Final Descent Sessions: Lao Dan 老丹 meets Jooklo Duo (Live at Copenhagen Jazz Festival) – Part 1
Final Descent Sessions #5
Lao Dan 老丹 Meets Jooklo Duo - Part 1
Live at Mayhem, Copenhagen Jazz Festival
☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉
Recorded during Lao Dan's artist in residence with Final Descent during Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2024. The video is part 1 of 2.
Lao Dan, a pioneering force in Chinese experimental jazz, marries the ancient melodies of his homeland with the daring improvisation of jazz. Mastering the suona, a traditional Chinese wind instrument, he embarked on a journey to blend two worlds.
Blowing minds all over the world since 2004 with hundreds of charming performances and some cult records, Jooklo Duo (Virginia Genta on reeds, flutes, piano, percussion and David Vanzan on drums) keeps spreading their powerful and uniquely vibrant sound, deeply rooted in free jazz avant-garde but heavily influenced by traditional folk music, and at the same time open to extreme sound experiments.
Lao Dan and Jooklo Duo released the tape Ze Ze The Milky Way in 2021 through Old Heaven Books. The tape is a live recording of their first collaborative encounter, captured at the Shenzhen OctLoft Jazz Festival in 2018. This was their second meeting ever - a fiery, 40-minute set of free improvisation that merged spiritual jazz and free folk at the legendary Copenhagen DIY venue, Mayhem.
