KB Hallen, a historic Copenhagen venue


Recommended Posts

I was saddened by the news in today's Danish papers that a major fire has destroyed KB Hallen. This was a large sports arena, built in the '30s, where I heard much memorable music, starting with the first jazz concert I ever attended. Here, as I was getting into jazz (in the late '40s), I enjoyed Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, JATP, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Sidney Bechet, and many, many more.

The next event would have been a sex toy show...sign of the times.

But after the Erotik show, X Factor auditions, so maybe the KB Hallen gave its life to save us all... :rolleyes:
