WRTI and JazzDanmark present DANGEROUS SOUNDS--a podcast series in 8 episodes taking listeners on a historical journey of jazz in Denmark. Starting back in the early 1920s when jazz first arrived on its shores from America, leading up to the time in the ‘50s and ‘60s when the small state of Denmark became a world center for jazz, the series explores the impact that shaped society and the music we listen to today.
