Jan Lundgren with strings: A Tribute to Jan Johansson at Copenhagen Jazz Festival at Jazzhus Montmartre

The Swedish jazz pianist and artistic leader of Montmartre play with a superb poetic sensitivity that goes straight to the heart of the listener. He lifts the legacy of Sweden's great pianist, Jan Johansson, like no other. And when he interprets Jan Johanssons musical legacy, it is with great respect and curiosity. These tribute concerts are primarily based on the music from "Jazz på Svenska", "Jazz på Ryska" og "Jazz på Ungerska". The harmonies are retained but Lundgren has certainly put his own imprint on the music. With Mattias Svensson, who has also been a regular part of Jan Lundgren Trio, and the string quartet something additional unique is added. Jan Lundgren opens this year's Copenhagen Jazz Festival at Jazzhus Montmartre with a seductive and unforgettable concert experience, which has been a great success with sold-out houses around Europe....

Den svenske jazzpianist og kunstneriske chef for Montmartre spiller med en uovertruffen poetisk følsomhed, der går lige i hjertet på lytteren. Han løfter arven fra Sveriges store pianist, Jan Johansson, som ingen anden. Og når han fortolker Jan Johanssons værker, så er det med stor omhu og nysgerrighed. Disse hyldestkoncerter er primært baseret på musikken fra "Jazz på Svenska", "Jazz på Ryska" og "Jazz på Ungerska". Grundharmonikken er bevaret, men Lundgren har bestemt også sat sit eget aftryk på musikken. Med Mattias Svensson, som også har været en fast del af Jan Lundgren Trio, og strygekvartetten tilføjes der yderligere noget helt unikt. Jan Lundgren åbner ballet til dette års Copenhagen Jazz Festival hos Jazzhus Montmartre med en forførende og uforglemmelig koncertoplevelse, som har været en stor succes med udsolgte huse rundt i Europa.
