TUESDAY“Tootie” Heath (drums / US), Thomas Clausen (piano / DK), Mads Vinding (bass / DK), Anders Bergcrantz (trumpet / SE), Tomas Franck (saxophone / SE)

A legend on his own, “Tootie” Heath is one of the famous Heath Brothers who played almost everybody in jazz since 1960, especially with Dexter Gordon in Copenhagen. Joining Tootie on stage is the great pianist Thomas Clausen, who was discovered by Dex in 1969 and from then went on to play with Ben Webster, Stan Getz, Johnny Griffin etc. Later he formed a trio with the superb Mads Vinding, another Danish musical treasure and master of the bass. Anders Bergcrantz studied at Berklee in Boston for 2 years and has played with Dave Liebman and Adam Nussbaum. With a sweet sound and yet a punchy style, he is one of the top trumpet players today. Last but not least, Tomas Franck delivers the tenor sax tones deeply inspired by the style and the sound that made Dexter Gordon so special.

Kurt Rosenwinkel (guitar / US), Eric Revis (bass / US), Ted Poor (drummer / US)

If you want to understand where jazz is anno 2010 then look no further than guitarist/composer Kurt Rosenwinkel. Just as Brad Mehldau today has become the dominant influence on other jazz pianists, the same is true of Kurt Rosenwinkel as a guitarist who has countless imitators around the world. To understand the genesis of his world wide influence you can trace the story back to the beginning of the 90ties, where jazz legend Gary Burton (repeating what he did for Pat Metheny) invites Kurt Rosenwinkel to join his band even before Kurt finished his studies at Berklee College of Music. Subsequently Kurt also becomes part of Paul Motian’s Electric Bebop band and Joe Henderson’s band, but perhaps more importantly he is one of the central forces (along with Brad Mehldau, Mark Turner etc) in a jazz revolution that takes place in the New York City club called Small’s in the late 90ties. Kurt Rosenwinkel’s influence ranges wider than just the guitar, as he is also known as one of the greatest composers in jazz today.

THE ACCLAIMED DANISH GUITARIST AND HIS STELLAR TRIO

JAKOB BRO TRIO Jakob Bro (guitar / DK), Anders Christensen (bass / DK), Jakob Høyer (drums / DK)

The young guitarist Jakob Bro has not only made an impression on theDanish jazz scene; as part of the group led by legendary drummer PaulMotian, Bro also performs with many top American musicians. As PaulMotian said recently: “Jakob is really talented ... he did a nice record of his own and he sent it to me. It’s really nice; it’s really different.” Bro is also experiencing success in Denmark with the groups Bandapart and Beautiful Day. In 2003, he received the Danish Music Award as “New Name of the Year” for his work as composer and guitarist on the latter band’s debut recording Beautiful Day (Music Mecca 2002). In 2006 his status as one of the most interesting artists on the young Danish jazzscene was confirmed when his album Sidetracked (Loveland 2006) won in both the category Danish Jazz Release of the Year and Cross-over Release of the Year at the Danish Music Awards.

Karsten Kristensen (tenor sax / DK), Olivier Antunes (piano / DK), Jonathan Bremer (bass / DK), Niclas Bardeleben (drums / DK)

Great tenor Karsten Kristensen may be the best Dexter Gordon descen-dant ever today. He bought his first saxophone at the age of 17 and he was immediately influenced by the one and only Ben Webster. But when he heard Dexter Gordon, that was it! It changed his whole life, and he was lucky enough to hear Dex play several times in the 70’s in Denmark. Today, Karsten is known to be one of the most significant Dexter Gordon experts in Denmark. On the Montmartre stage this evening Karsten Kristensen is joined by Olivier Antunes on piano, already well-established on the Danish jazz scene. Bardeleben and Bremer on drums and bass are the new young house rhythm team at Mont-martre anno 2010 like Riel and NHØP were in the 60’s to Dexter. This will be another great moment during this Dexter Gordon Festival.

KARSTEN KRISTENSEN

Benjamin Koppel (alto sax / DK), Olivier Antunes (piano / DK), Jonathan Bremer (bass / DK), Niclas Bardeleben (drums / DK)

At the age of only 16, Benjamin Koppel played one of his first public perfor-mances at the Dexter Gordon Memorial in 1990 at Montmartre in Nørregade. Ever since then, Benjamin Koppel’s work as a professional musician has had a primary focus on jazz music, although always experimenting with and deve-loping the music. As a bandleader he has established a number of ensembles with very unique styles and sounds and all contributing to his musical creativity as a saxophone player and composer. During the last years he has been focusing on his international career, and as part of this we can thank him for bringing some of the most highly regarded artists from abroad to Copenhagen.

INCREDIBLE COMPOSER AND TRUMPET GIANT TOM HARREL

TOM HARRELL QUINTETWayne Escoffery (tenor sax / US), Danny Grissett (piano / US), Ugonna Okegwo (bass / US), Jonathan Blake (drums / US), Tom Harrell (trumpet / US)

Tom Harrell is not only one of the greatest trumpet players since the 70’s but an original composer and arranger too. Carlos Santana, Cold Blood, Hank Jones, Kenny Barron and The Danish Radio Big Band are among the many who have recorded or performed his work. His trum-pet style is warm, rich, punchy, groovy, and vulnerable. His improvisa-tions are always inspired and every note is impeccable. He has played with almost everybody in jazz; Gerry Mulligan, Phil Woods, Bill Evans, Ray Brown, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton etc. Over the years, Tom has also become a great band leader and he is now touring with his super quintet, among here the young promising pianist Danny Grissett, who recorded for Blue Note Records. The Tom Harrell Quintet will most definitely be an important event for at Montmartre.

SWEDISH-AMERICAN WORLD CLASS VIRTUOSITY

BENNY GREEN / ULF WAKENIUS QUARTETBenny Green (piano / US), Ulf Wakenius (guitar / SE), Kristian Leth (drummer / DK), Morten Ramsbøl (bass / DK)

An all star and unique group is coming to Montmartre. Benny Green began his career with Betty Carter, then with Art Blakey but got real big when he was part of the Ray Brown trio (1993-1996) and got to play a lot with legendary originals like Milt Jackson, JJ Johnson and Oscar Peterson. As a band leader, he keeps bringing his knowledge to the jazz world. We can say exactly the same about Ulf Wakenius. Certainly one of the three best guitar players coming along on the scene since the 90’s, his technique is incredible and he’s a fabulous improviser too. We are not afraid of calling him “The Oscar Peterson of the guitar”. Morten Ramsbøl and Kristian Leth deliver the solid and yet playful rhythm section of this Green/Wakenius Special Quartet.

George Cables (piano / US), Jesper Thilo (sax / DK), Bo Stief (bass / DK), Alex Riel (drums / DK)

Young pianist George Cables began his career playing with drummer Billy Cobham, then Max Roach and then Sonny Rollins. He became really big with his collaborations with Dexter Gordon and alt saxofonist Art Pepper at the end of the 70’s. Today he still manages to impress other heavy piano players out there like Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. Copenhagen-based Jesper Thilo is already a legend on the Danish jazz scene having played with Ben Webster, Benny Carter, Zoot Sims, etc. Bo Stief is another legend in Europe, bass virtuoso, who has played with everybody in jazz, from Benny Goodman to Albert Ayler. And to top this all stars band is the first to ever receive the Montmartre Legends Lifetime Achievement Award, Alex Riel on drums.

DEXTER GORDON FESTIVALNovember 14-23Concerts and Reminicenses

When we talk about the European period of the legendary tenor Dexter Gordon in the 60’s and 70’s, we immediately think about the jazz club Jazzhus Montmartre. That was his home there.

For this very special Dexter Gordon tribute festival, with the close collaboration of Maxine Gordon, famous Danish and American musicians will be part of this event. Some played with Dex already 45 years ago, as the very great drummer “Tootie” Heath for example, or George Cables who was Dexter’s choice of pianist when he returned to the US in 1976. Other and younger ones, as tenor Karsten Kristensen and Benjamin Koppel are directly related to his immortal legacy over the decades. This Dexter Gordon festival will be, indirectly, another tribute to a very great pianist, Kenny Drew, who played a thousand times with Dexter at the time at Montmartre. Many wonderful piano players will part of this too, like Thomas Clausen or Olivier Antunes, who comes from Kenny’s style. This Danish Dexter Gordon festival is unique in the world and will stay, for sure, an immortal event for everybody. What an excitement!
