Copenhagen has always had a jazz reputation. In the 1960s, people like Ben Webster, Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, Kenny Drew, Oscar Pettiford, Thad Jones and many others not only played in Copenhagen, but actually lived in the city. This helped boost the already vigorous jazz community in and around Copenhagen.
Within the framework of the Hear the World initiative, a partnership has been established with the Copenhagen Jazz Festival, in particular the Kids' Jazz events. The aim is to increase the awareness among kids and their parents of the amazing wonders of music and our sense of hearing. And also the importance of protecting our sense of hearing.
