See the full program and all 450 concerts at Jazz.dk Vinterjazz sets a stunning new record with more than 100 venues across the country What makes Vinterjazz a special music event is, that it is a national collaboration between venues and organizers, musicians and audience, the big cities and the outskirts of Denmark – a national initiative created and taking place locally. For instance, when Vinterjazz presents a series of concerts in cities like Sorø, Silkeborg, Lemvig and Sønderborg which are organized by local non-profit communities, or when Vinterjazz move into the new concert halls of Musikkens Hus in Aalborg, DR Koncerthuset in Copenhagen or Kulturværftet in Helsingør, which offer some of the festival’s biggest stars. Vinterjazz is first and foremost a club festival that kick-starts the season for the many Danish jazz clubs that create an environment where jazz can develop and live year round. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that Vinterjazz this year sets a new record with more than 100 venues. Especially we would like to welcome you to the many new venues in the programme. Vinterjazz 2015 in numbers: * 17 days * 106 venues (including 40 new venues) * 455 concerts More information: Simon Christensen Communications Manager Vinterjazz / Copenhagen Jazz Festival [email protected] +45 3393 2013 (office) +45 6177 8335 (mobile) Website: www.jazz.dk Press room: www.jazz.dk/presse Facebook: www.facebook.com/cphjazzfestival Twitter: www.twitter.com/cphjazz Click to Download Vinterjazz 2015 Press Kit. .

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

    VOL. 7, NO. 10 Cover Photo by Rick Malkin FEATURES ALEX VAN HALEN Rock musicians are often accused of being more concerned with the rock 'n' roll lifestyle than with the music. That lifestyle is very much a part of Alex Van Halen's image, but underneath that image is a serious musician who has a lot to say about drums and drumming, and he says it here in this MD exclusive. by Robyn Flans 8 PHILLIP WILSON For a drummer to have played with such diverse groups as The Art Ensemble of Chicago and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band indicates that his musicianship is not limited in any way, and that is certainly true of Phillip Wilson, who has a knack for weaving seemingly contrasting influences together into one unique style. by Chip Stern 16 DRUMS AROUND THE WORLD Japan's Stomu Yamash'ta; England's Ronnie Verrell; Brazil's Ivan Conti; Canada's Steve Negus; Israel's Aron Kaminski; Den- mark's Alex Riel. 20 FRANK BEARD In this revealing interview, Frank Beard, the unpretentious, self-taught drummer for ZZ Top, discusses his career from his early emulations of '60s British rock bands, to his later involvement with a psychedelic group, and his present position as a member of the highly successful, Texas-based rock trio. by Susan Alexander 26 ROCK CHARTS COLUMNS "Lowdown In the Street" PROFILES 74 by James Morton ON THE MOVE Nelson Montana 30 ROCK PERSPECTIVES A Left-Handed Perspective REVIEWS EDUCATION by Robert Doyle 92 ON TRACK 94 CLUB SCENE STRICTLY TECHNIQUE PRINTED PAGE 96 Handling the Ups and Downs Triplets With Buzz Rolls 46 by Joe Morello by Rick Van Horn 100 NEWS COMPLETE PERCUSSIONIST UPDATE Junkanoo EQUIPMENT by Robyn Flans 110 by Neil M.

  • Thomas Blachman, Carsten Dahl and Lennart Ginman Interpreted a Number of Jazz Standards on Blachman Introduces Standard Jazz & Rap, Vol
    From a tight, rhythmic pulsing swing beat to abstract, dissolving free structures, it is music of its GinmanBlachmanDahl time rooted in the classic, beguiling melancholy of jazz, yet simultaneously invoking a universal meeting among three virtuoso instrumentalists. It is an attempt to make time stand still, in a moment of utter selflessness in the service of music. Three instruments conversing in a pure language without small talk and automatism. Each member of the trio is a leading figure on the Danish music scene. All three have a large body of work behind them, testament to extreme artistic diversity and freedom in their creative approach. GinmanBlachmanDahl occasionally take part in musical meetings with other artists, including such names as Palle Mikkelborg, Nils Petter Molvær, Claus Hempler and Stephen Riley. This album is produced in collaboration with Danish loudspeaker manufacturer, DALI, whose hi-fi speakers are acclaimed for a clear, authentic and natural sound that reproduces the music as intended by the artists. DALI has released several compilations with the aim to give music lovers a clear, dynamic and natural sound experience - all done in respect and admiration for music, the artists and our audience. The Velvet Blues is the trio’s third release. Previous releases include: GinmanBlachmanDahl is an exceptional trio on the Scandinavian jazz scene in 2020. The Library Bar Concerts (2003) The group consists of three of the country’s most significant musical personalities. The trio was the GinmanBlachmanDahl (2004) first Danish group ever released by legendary Verve Records. Their unshakeable faith in the magic of improvisation among the three instrumentalists is the very foundation of GinmanBlachmanDahl’s Press reviews: open musical universe, earning them a well-deserved reputation for delivering fiery live performances.
