It’s so easy to be insular. But what’s making waves elsewhere in Europe and beyond on the jazz scene? Listen to a track here from the highest rated Danish jazz release of last year by the Emil de Waal trio+ featuring Elith “Nulle” Nykjær. This radical-trad band debuted at the Copenhagen jazz festival a few years ago and the approach of their award winning record is  described as journeying between Ellingtonia, Mingus, and wait for it... Chopin. The Danish scene is in focus at next month's Jazz Ahead in Bremen.
