"Like being right there in Paris Saint Germain!" (Bo Tao Michaëlis, reviewer). French Jazz Collective awakens the full palette of emotions from the French jazz tradition—warm, poetic, seductive, quiet, wild, and untamed moods. Jazz singer Katrine Aidt Rømhild began her singing career in France. Her voice has a velvety tone, and she has a deep love for songwriters such as Michel Legrand, Charles Aznavour, Georges Brassens, and Serge Gainsbourg—the unique colors of the French sound universe.
With French Jazz Collective, she has gathered a group of top-tier musicians with profound insight into the music. On stage, you’ll find the sought-after French pianist and composer Benoit Birlouet, the virtuosic and poetic accordionist Niels Ørts Ottosen, Morten Hintze—known from Sinatra Syndicate—on double bass, and the multitalented percussionist Paul Kim from San Francisco.
Together, they present a repertoire of moving and fresh, yet always faithful interpretations of beloved French melodies, stylistically spanning swing, Latin, ballads, jazzy musette waltzes, standards, and chansons, along with some original compositions.
To ensure everyone can enjoy the poetry of the lyrics, French Jazz Collective always provides programs with Danish and English translations of the French texts.
