DANISH-NORWEGIAN STAR TRIO FRIDAY TRIO Jun 03 20.00 (8pm) Carsten Dahl (piano / DK), (bass / NO), (drums / NO) DKK 375 Carsten Dahl started out on drums (with as his teacher!), but after SATURDAY two years at the music conservatory he instead went on to playing piano, and he has never looked back since. He never received any training and yet Jun 04 he has worked his way to play with the likes of , 20.00 (8pm) and and along the way received numerous prizes including Danish Winner of the Jazzpar 2000. It is obvious why Carsten Dahl is Den- DKK 375 mark’s most wanted pianist, and at Montmartre we are happy to finally presenting his latest trio project featuring two of ’s most prominent jazz artists: Arild Andersen whom we are not afraid to call one of Europe’s leading bass players today, and Jon Christensen, a true innovator and original on drums.

HANS ULRIK / LARS JANSSON QUARTET IN SUPREME TRIBUTE THURSDAY A LOVE SUPREME Jun 09 JOHN COLTRANE TRIBUTE 20.00 (8pm) DKK 350

Hans Ulrik (sax / DK), Lars Jansson (piano / SE) Thomas Fonnesbæk (bass / DK), FRIDAY Paul Svanberg (drums / DK) Jun 10 The album A Love Supreme stands out as John Coltrane’s contribution to the nu- 20.00 (8pm) merous lists of greatest jazz albums of all times. At this point of his too short ca- reer he seemed to have reached his personal peak and clarity as a musician with a DKK 350 mission. But already before, and also after, Coltrane kept composing and playing SATURDAY classic and varied styles of jazz pieces that generations after him still embrace. At Montmartre we have invited a carefully chosen team to present and master the Jun 11 Coltrane musical heritage. Both Hans Ulrik and Lars Jansson are known for their 20.00 (8pm) melodic persuasion, great swing and ability to capture the core soul of a song, DKK 350 which have often brought them to work outside the Scandinavian borders. On bass they are bringing Thomas Fonnesbæk and on drums Paul Svanberg.

MULTIFACETED WORLD CLASS DRUMMER THURSDAY QUARTET Jun 16 20.00 (8pm) Peter Erskine (drums / US), Benjamin Koppel (sax / DK), TBA (piano), Johannes Weidenmueller (bass / DE) DKK 375 FRIDAY Peter Erskine is perhaps today’s most in demand drummer. Early in his career in the 1970’s he was part of the notorious rhythm section in Jun 17 together with Jaco Pastorius. Later he would move on to playing several big 20.00 (8pm) bands as well as adding his musicality to artist projects such as those of Kate Bush, and Queen Latifah. With a very versatile style and understand- DKK 375 ing of music, Peter Erskine is, besides touring and recording also composing and SATURDAY arranging music for theater, dance, film and television. At our jazz club he will introduce us a newcomer to the Montmartre, but certainly not newcomer to the Jun 18 international jazz scene, and by the way Peter Erskine’s own favourite bass player, 20.00 (8pm) Johannes Weidenmueller. DKK 375

The Blue Lotus project has already been presented abroad and as far away as Brazil to sold out concerts and raving reviews. Now, in Copenhagen, Jazzhus Montmartre proudly presents a trio project in the borderland of jazz, Indian and classical music with Denmark’s most famous guitarist, most busy harpist and most imaginative drummer.

TRIBUTE TO A MASTER AND A MENTOR SATURDAY CHRISTINA VON BÜLOW Jun 25 ’GETZ ALUMNI’ 20.00 (8pm) DKK 275 Christina von Bülow (sax / DK), Ben Besiakov (piano / DK), Daniel Franck (bass / DK), Frands Rifbjerg (drums / DK)

Legendary ’ impact on Denmark is not only found in the history of Montmartre, but also in the present of Danish saxophonist Christina von Bülow’s playing. Stan Getz was the sound that came out of the speakers in her childhood home as well as the teacher who would later introduce her to the world behind that characteristic sound. Christina von Bülow describes her meeting with Stan Getz as inspirational to the level of placing Getz as a mentor with a big influence on her development as a musician. At this one night only concert, Christina von Bülow presents those Stan Getz tunes that has influenced her the most and also shows us the truly remarkable musician she has become. With her she brings the strong quartet she has collaborated with so many times before: Ben Besiakov on piano, Daniel Franck on bass and Frands Rifbjerg on drums.

DANISH SONGSTRESS & AMERICAN JAZZ DRUMMER TEAMS UP FRIDAY SØS FENGER ’ON HOLIDAY’ Jul 01 WITH ADAM NUSSBAUM 20.00 (8pm) DKK 375

Adam Nussbaum (drums /US), Søs Fenger (vocal / DK), Mai-Berit Guassora (trumpet / DK), SATURDAY Olivier Antunes (piano / DK),, Lennart Ginman (bass / DK) Jul 02 Danish singer Søs Fenger returns to jazz when she visits Montmartre for the first 20.00 (8pm) time. In 1991 she recorded the album On Holiday featuring only Billie Holiday songs. The album was received well among critics and the public, although the DKK 375 Grammy she received the same year was for best Rock Vocal. No doubt she is a singer with many sides to her, and she understands how to blend and contextu- alize and constantly refresh her sound. At Montmartre Søs Fenger teams up with Montmartre’s guest of the week, drummer Adam Nussbaum, as well as Lennart Ginman on bass, Olivier Antunes on piano and Mai-Berit Guassora on trumpet.

A MUSICAL JOURNEY. A JAZZ ENCOUNTER. A GREAT STORY TOLD FRIDAY BO STIEF FEAT. ADAM NUSSBAUM Jul 03 MONTMARTRE BEFORE AND NOW 20.00 (8pm) DKK 375 Bo Stief (bass / DK), Adam Nussbaum (drums /US), Bobo Moreno (vocal / DK), Hans Ulrik (sax / DK), Ole Kock Hansen (piano / DK)

In the midst of the Copenhagen Jazz Festival we pause for a moment and hand over the stage to a true Montmartre veteran bass legend Bo Stief. Stief spent his youth at the Montmartre in its first era beginning in the early 1960’s, and a genera- tion later he is part of the new era after the re-opening in 2010 and as a member of the Montmartre’s Artistic Council. The repertoire for the evening relates to both the past and the present, but more so to the tradition of inviting foreign musicians to come and play and share some of that jazz culture that has integrated so well onto the Danish music scene, and through the years has turned Copenhagen into a European jazz capital. Also on stage adding to the thick atmosphere of jazz: Bobo Moreno, Ole Kock Hansen and Hans Ulrik.

PRIZE PARTY CONCERT FEAT. KRISTIN KORB AND ADAM NUSSBAUM MONDAY FOUNDATION Jul 04 PRESENTS THE ANNUAL 20.00 (8pm) DKK 400 BEN WEBSTER PRIZE PARTY

Kristin Korb (vocal and bass / US), Olivier Antunes (piano / DK), Alex Riel (drums / DK)

Adam Nussbaum (drums / US), Peter Marott (trumpet / DK), Magnus Hjorth (piano / DK), Jonathan Bremer (bass / DK) + surprise!

Every year The Ben Webster Foundation honours a Danish or American jazz musician and this years’ venue for the Annual Prize Night is Jazzhus Montmar- tre. Who the receiver is, is yet to be announced, so stay tuned in on the jazz medias…

On this special concert night the Foundation presents one of the most exciting female bassists-vocalists at the moment, the American Kristin Korb, a former student of bass king , who also was the one to record her debut album. For her first gig at Montmartre she is accompanied by two former prize winners Alex Riel on drums and Olivier Antunes on piano, and we are truly honoured by her visit on a significant evening like this.

Furthermore, also from the other side of the Atlantic, Adam Nussbaum rounds of his fifth night at Montmartre when he leads the band of young up-and- coming cats, giving them the rare opportunity to play and learn from the world class drummer on the historical stage. And since it is a night of party, we might just invite others to join! There will be several of those ‘one moments’ and ‘sur- prise moments’ not to be missed – for sure!

The evening is hosted by The Ben Webster Foundation. All profits from the concert tickets are kindly donated to Jazzhus Montmartre.

We 20.00 (8pm) know Mads Vinding from his numerous performances with past and present remark- able jazz musicians on the international scene, but in Denmark of course from his DKK 375 days as young house bassist at Montmartre. Drummer Billy Hart has toured with THURSDAY people such as , Miles Davis, and , and Hart was also the one to suggest Jean-Michel Pilc as member of the trio knowing Pilc’s work with other Jul 07 greats like , Marcus Miler and Kenny Garrett.

(McPherson DKK 375 was also featured in Clint Eastwood’s motion picture ‘Bird’ on those tracks that are SUNDAY not played by Charlie Parker). Moving into a post-Bird bop period, McPherson has played in several of ’ bands, and also toured with his own composi- Jul 10 tions and arrangements, in between featuring jazz greats like Billy Eckstine, Lionel 20.00 (8pm) Hampton and Nat Adderley.
