The last time Katrine Madsen visited Montmartre, she gave us her beautiful interpretations of Ella Fitzgerald, and the critics received it well and positive.

This time around we are excited to present Katrine Madsen with her own quartet.

Katherine Madsen Group delivers a fascinating mix of Katrine's own material and standards - and as always, when Katherine sings, the stage is set for an evening of sit back, relax and enjoy.

One beautiful song after another.

The rhythm group is one of the best out there, and especially Henrik Gunde is considered one of the most vibrant personalities of Danish jazz at the moment. A perfect evening for those who love vocal jazz of highest quality.

Sidste gang Katrine Madsen besøgte Montmartre, gav hun os sine smukke fortolkninger af Ella Fitzgerald, og anmelderne modtog det positivt. Denne gang er vi glade for at præsentere Katrine Madsen med sin egen kvartet. Katrine Madsen Group leverer en fascinerende blanding af Katrines eget materiale og smukke standarder - og som altid, når Katherine synger, er scenen sat for en aften, hvor vi læner os tilbage, slapper af og blot nyder  musikken. Rytmegruppen fås ikke bedre, og især Henrik Gunde betragtes som en af de mest levende personligheder i dansk jazz for tiden. En perfekt aften af vokaljazz af højeste kvalitet.

Natholdet (the Night Shift) is an old Montmartre tradition that began in 1962 when Jazzhus Montmartre was awarded its license to stay open beyond midnight.

Throughout the years, many of the finest Danish and foreign musicians, for example, Abdullah Ibrahim, has played with Natholdet in May 1963.

Now the tradition continues. Montmartre will provide space for specially invited guests every Friday from 11:00pm to 02:30pm, each week with new artists.

The after hours jazz party is informal and will be a great place to drop in after dinner in town - or if you just want to experience something really unique. Come and flirt your way through the night.

Natholdet er en gammel Montmartre tradition som startede i 1962, da Montmartre fik sin første natbevilling. Igennem tiderne har en stribe af de fineste danske og udenlandske musikere spillet på natholdet, i maj 63 havde Abdullah Ibrahim f.eks. tjansen. Nu fortsætter Montmartre traditionen og giver plads til de bedste yngre musikere hver fredag kl. 23.00 til 02.30, hver uge med nye solister. Natjazzen er mere uformel og et oplagt sted at droppe forbi efter en middag i byen eller hvis man bare vil have en unik oplevelse.

Come and hear the entertaining, informative and untold stories about the big stars that played there, the night disco, the more than exciting everyday life, and the bumpy road from jazz to fusion to funk, rock, pop and all the music that came alive on the stage in Nørregade.

On request by many, the Jørgen Emborg Quartet will play the music that made this group one of the leading sounds – the nordic tone - within Danish jazz: "Winter Days", "Do not touch my Rocking Chair" and "Februarkrystaller" are on the set list.

Med udgangspunkt i sin bog "Montmartre i Nørregade - Mig og Monten" fortæller den musikalske leder af Montmartre i Nørregade, Niels Christensen, om de gyldne år fra 1976 til 1989. Ukendte, underholdende og informerende historier om de store stjerner, natdiskoteket, den alt andet end kedelige dagligdag og zig zag-kursen mellem alle slags jazz, fusion, funk, rock, pop og al den musik, der befolkede scenen i Nørregade. På mange opfordringer vil den genopståede Jørgen Emborg Kvartet spille den musik, der gjorde netop denne gruppe til den vigtigste bannerfører for den nordiske tone i dansk jazz: Kompositioner som "Vinterdage", Don't Touch My Rocking Chair" og "Februarkrystaller", spillet af de samme musikere, der begejstrede publikum og anmeldere fra slutningen af halvfjerdserne.

THE INCREDIBLE AND REFRESHING NEW AMERICAN SAX SENSATION:
MARCUS STRICKLAND QUARTET

Marcus Strickland, sax

• Marcus Strickland (saxophone / US)
• David Bryant (piano / US)
• Ameen Saleem (bass / US)
• E.J. Strickland (drums / US)
  

With a tone described by critics and audiences as lyrical, liquid and luminous and at the same time forceful and exact, Marcus Strickland is turning heads in every club he plays.

He has been named 'Rising Star' by Downbeat Magazine's Critic's Poll in 2010 (tenor sax) and 2008 (soprano sax).

JazzTimes Magazine's Reader's Poll named him 'Best New Artist' in 2006, and as early as 2002 he placed third in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition.

But what really matters to him is the audiences: "I don't want them to walk away with their brains hurting. I don't want them walking away with a calculator trying to figure out what happened. I want them to walk away thinking, wow that was a great hang."

Der er tale om en unik aften, når Marcus Strickland kigger forbi med sin kvartet. Marcus Strickland er to gange blevet kåret som 'Rising Star' af Downbeat Magazine kritikers Poll (i 2010 på tenor sax og 2008 på sopran sax). JazzTimes Magazines Readers Poll kårede ham 'Best New Artist' i 2006, og så tidligt som i 2002 opnåede han tredjepladsen i Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone konkurrence. Med en tone beskrevet af kritikere og publikum som lyrisk, flydende og let, og på samme tid insisterende og præcis, tiltrækker han opmærksomhed overalt hvor han spiller. Men det der virkeligt betyder noget for ham er sit publikum: "Jeg ønsker ikke at de skal gå herfra med ondt i hovedet, jeg ønsker ikke at de skal gå herfra med en lommeregner i hånden i et forsøg på at regne ud hvad der lige skete, jeg ønsker at de skal gå herfra og tænke 'wow, det var fedt at hænge ud her'!"

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Jazzhus Montmartre is a small intimate club with very limited space. Latecomers may have to stand in the bar, or find room for their chair where there may be space left. Please note that our concerts begin at the announced time (max 10 min. late) so please arrive in due time to avoid disturbing artists and audience. On hot summer days the club may become very hot.

PHOTO POLICY: In order not to disturb the artists, flash photography is not allowed at any times. Some artists may allow non-flash photography for the first two songs, others request no photography at all. The photo policy of the evening will be announced in the beginning of each performance. Filming or sound recordings are not allowed without prior written permission from the artists.
