Riel/Mikkelborg/Dahl/Stief at Jazzhus Montmartre

Looking forward to three concerts with four living legends whose names all shine bright on the Danish jazz sky. In 1962-65, Alex Riel was brought in as the house drummer in Jazzhus Montmartre where he with NHØP and Bo Stief especially, learned the craftsmanship by playing with the international stars including names like Dexter Gordon and Ben Webster. Bo Stief also started his career in Montmartre in Store Regnegade, where he accompanied most of the soloists who came through Copenhagen at the time. Palle Mikkelborg is one of Denmark's most innovative and original jazz musicians ever. Since the 1960s he has challenged the musical conventions with his personal trumpet playing, his orchestras and his compositional crossover projects. Last but not least, Carsten Dahl, who as early as 14 years was a well-known studio musician, and at the age of 19 started at the Music Conservatory where he had the legendary American drummer Ed Thigpen as his teacher, before he eventually started playing the piano instead. These four virtuous stars should be experience at close range. We can’t wait!...

Glæd jer til tre koncerter med fire levende legender, hvis navne alle stråler på den danske jazzhimmel. Alex Riel blev i 1962-65 hentet ind som husmusiker i Jazzhus Montmartre, hvor han især med NHØP og Bo Stief i rytmegruppen lærte håndelaget ved at bakke de tilrejsende musikere op, deriblandt Dexter Gordon og Ben Webster. Bo Stief startede ligeledes sin karriere i Montmartre i Store Regnegade, hvor han akkompagnerede strengt taget alle de solister, der på den tid kom igennem København. Palle Mikkelborg er en af Danmarks mest nytænkende og originale jazzmusikere nogensinde. Siden 1960’erne har han udfordret de musikalske konventioner med sit personlige trompetspil, sine orkestre og sine kompositoriske crossover projekter. Og sidst men ikke mindst Carsten Dahl, der allerede som 14-årig var en velanset studiemusiker, og som 19-årig kom på Det Rytmiske Musikkonservatorium, hvor han havde den legendariske amerikanske trommeslager Ed Thigpen som lærer, inden han senerehen skiftede slagtøjet ud med pianoets tangenter. Fire store virtuoser, der skal opleves på tætteste hold. Vi glæder os!
