Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
”I can never find my way. My sense of location doesn’t work. It’s always been that way.
That’s why I don’t have favourite places, because I wouldn’t be able to find them again. Instead, all places are my favourite places. And in a city like Copenhagen, it’s easy.
To me, Copenhagen is a city that is green as well as blue. Wherever you are, you can almost always find something green. I really like that. Some say that green is good for the eyes, and I think that is absolutely right. I also really like the fact that you can always see the sky above the city. This is a city that doesn’t have many tall buildings. When I look up, the sky is usually blue.”

What is your favourite music?
”I have always been very fond of jazz, and jazz has always been very fond of Copenhagen. I like thinking about that.
Copenhagen is a jazz city. This is witnessed by many street signs as well as names of squares and names on gravestones (if you can find them!).
But the jazzy thing about Copenhagen is more fundamental, I think. Jazz builds on many different traditions and cultures – and you can say the same about Copenhagen.
There is probably good reason why I feel so at home here in jazzy Copenhagen, where there is always room for improvisation in the middle of all the green and blue. Room for the familiar – and room for the new.”

Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
”I am very fond of Copenhagen. I think it is a city full of hygge, especially in the summer when there is a lot of outdoor seating in restaurants, cafes and bars, and you can sit outside until late at night. However, my favourite place in Copenhagen is Kastellet. It is a very romantic place that still has a moat and an old mill. You can go for a walk there with your sweetheart or your friends. Since the old days, Copenhageners have the tradition of walking on the moat with ‘perle’ (pearl, i.e. sweetheart) on the evening before the holiday of ‘store bededag’ and eating warm cardamom buns (‘hveder’) afterwards.”
 
Who are your favourite Danish musicians?
”There is a lot of Danish music that is really good, musically, rhythmically and lyrically. I like Tim Christensen from Dizzy Mizz Lizzy. But also female singers, such as Kira Skov and Annisette Koppel, sing really well. There are lots of music festivals in Denmark, particularly in the summer, such as Copenhagen Jazz Festival in July, where you can hear a lot of very skilled musicians again and again. One of my favourite music venues is Jazzhus Montmartre. It is actually very close to Studieskolen in Borgergade. You can eat, drink and listen to music there.”
