Denmark’s exclusive Christmas concert – with Rasmus Bøgelund and his Jazz Pioneers
Carøe’s Crooner Christmas is an exclusive Christmas concert where the classic crooner tradition meets world-class jazz – delivered with style, warmth and natural elegance, capturing the spirit of the American Christmas tradition we all know and love.
Michael Carøe is a rare entertainer: deeply rooted in tradition, yet with a contemporary flair and musicianship that brings the room together. His voice and impeccable timing evoke the great American Christmas recordings – where the music glows, the tempo is relaxed, and the atmosphere is both grand and intimate.
The programme features iconic Christmas classics and timeless crooner favourites, performed with respect for tradition, swing and personality.
Backing Carøe are Rasmus Bøgelund and his Jazz Pioneers – a band with jazz at its heart and tradition as its foundation. Their music draws on the great American jazz heritage, with clear references to the sound of Duke Ellington and the energy and drive of The Jazz Messengers.
The elegant and spacious arrangements are created by Rasmus’ brother, acclaimed arranger Nikolai Bøgelund. The interplay is vibrant, with groove and swing always at the heart of the music.
The atmosphere is immersive and atmospheric: you can feel the warmth, the calm and the anticipation. This is the Christmas we associate with classic American Christmas specials – beautifully decorated trees, soft lighting, a drink in your hand and music that makes time slow down.
It is a Christmas where tradition and quality go hand in hand, and where the music is allowed to carry the entire experience.
Carøe’s Crooner Christmas is a Christmas experience for those looking for more than just a concert. It is an evening where you step into a familiar and much-loved world of style, intimacy and classic Christmas spirit.
