Jazzhus Montmartre

It was opened in 1959 by Anders Dyrup with a two-week stint by George Lewis. In the beginning the program was dominated by Dixieland jazz (then very popular in Denmark). Shortly afterwards Stan Getz, who lived from 1958 to 1961 with his Swedish wife in Copenhagen, played regularly in the Club. He was followed by other expatriate American jazz musicians, including Dexter Gordon (who lived from 1962 to 1976 in Copenhagen) and Ben Webster (from 1964 on in Copenhagen and Amsterdam).
