Uncovering the Scenius

While getting feedback from our friends and listeners, it was rightfully pointed out that not everyone knows us and the idea behind this podcast. So here we introduce ourselves and the podcast properly!

Kresten Osgood is a drummer, improviser and huge catalyst in the Copenhagen scene. He has started multiple festivals and concert series and is the centerpiece of the beloved 5e Mandagsklubben. With an abundance of releases with great musicians from abroad and local alike, he has cemented himself as one of the most important creative musicians of his generation. Paul Bley, Yusef Lateef, Mouse on Mars, John Tchicai, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Steven Bernstain, Sam Rivers, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Bent Jædig and Derek Bailey are just a few of those he recorded with. In this Episode, Kresten will speak about the local scene, the Jyderup Accordeon Treff, his time in New York and what music he listens to. In between, he sprinkles personal stories and a joke or two to round it up. Enjoy listening to one of Denmark's finest musicians sharing his thoughts.

Nana Pi and Kresten Osgood join us for a talk about the 'Mandagsklubben' January residency in 5e. 
Nana Pi is a saxophone player, conductor, composer, band leader and improviser educated at the Malmö conservatory and currently living in Copenhagen. She is a important figure in performing and organising avant gard music and art in the copenhagen scene. She was a highly anticipated guest and it was a delight to have her talk about her life, music, ideas and how the four mondays of her residency at the scene-defining 5e Mandagsklubben have been.
Kresten Osgood, the legendary drummer that also runs the artistic organisation of the Mandagsklubben, joins us with his knowledge and insight, and will continue to do so on upcoming Mandagsklubben residency episodes.
