Lars Jansson is an incredibly gifted pianist who throughout the years has been the first choice for many of our best singers from Cæcilie Norby to Sinne Eeg.

Now he presents to us another of his favorite singers, Swedish Linda Pettersson, known as one of the few singers with the same nerve and intensity as Monica Zetterlund.

On these two evenings she will be singing mainly Lars Jansson's songs as well as a selection of the classic standards.

The stage is set for a beautiful and intense experience with four of Scandinavia's best musicians. Scandinavian Winter Jazz at its' best.

Lars Jansson rangerer som en af vores bedste sangskrivere i skandinavisk jazz. Meget få som ham skriver melodier i en moderne stil, der fanger lytteren. Lars Jansson er en utrolig talentfuld pianist, der gennem årene har været mange sangeres førstevalg, lige fra Cæcilie Norby til Sinne Eeg. Nu præsenterer han os for en ny af sine foretrukne sangerinder, svenske Linda Pettersson, der er kendt som en af de få sangere, der har den samme nerve og intensitet som Monica Zetterlund. Disse to aftener synger hun hovedsageligt Lars Janssons repertoire og indimellem lidt fra det klassiske standard repertoire. Vi glæder os til en smuk og intens oplevelse med fire af Nordens bedste musikere. VinterJazz når det er bedst.

• Niels Christensen (taler / DK)
• Jørgen Emborg (piano / DK)
• Jan zum Vohrde (sax + flute / DK)
• Jesper Lundgård (bass / DK)

Based on the book "Montmartre i Nørregade - Mig og Monten" (Montmartre in Nørregade – Me and the Mont) the author and former music director of Montmartre in Nørregade, Niels Christensen, tells about the golden years from 1976 to 1989.

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.

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.

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'!"

Jason Moran has not only a superb technique on the keys, he also combines his great knowledge of the jazz tradition into the future sound of jazz.

These days Jason Moran is touring all the major concert halls in Europe and because Montmartre was one of the absolutely most important clubs in the golden age of jazz in the 60s and 70s, he wanted to experience this for himself and found the time to give this one night only concert during his tour.

The stage is set for a great experience with a true new shining star in jazz together with his highly praised trio The Bandwagon.

I forbindelse med denne koncert er Jason Moran på turné rundt i alle de største koncerthuse i Europa og kun fordi Montmartre var en af de absolut væsentligste klubber i jazzens guldalder i 60'erne og 70'erne har han fundet tid til at give denne koncert. Der er lagt op til en stor oplevelse med en af jazzens helt store nye stjerner og hans højt besungne trio.

Anders Jormin, bass

• Diana Torto (vocal / IT)

There is no doubt that Taylor is a true European giant on piano.

Together with the unique Italian singer Diana Torto and Sweden's great bassist Anders Jormin he has now formed the trio Triangoli, creating incredibly beautiful musical moments as we know it from ECM's golden era.

Triangoli performs mostly their own music, which will give us as the listener a thrilling experience if you consider the status of each of the members on the contemporary European jazz scene.

A CELEBRATION OF A 40 YEAR UNIQUE MUSICAL CLASS FRIENDSHIP:
PALLE MIKKELBORG & THOMAS CLAUSEN DUO

Palle Mikkelborg, trumpet

Thomas Clausen, piano

The remarkable duo album "Even Closer"

• Palle Mikkelborg (trumpet/ DK)
• Thomas Clausen (piano / DK)

The friendship between Palle Mikkelborg and Thomas Clausen goes back more than 40 years.

They have collaborated numerous times on some of Danish jazz's most legendary projects, perhaps most notably on Miles Davis' Aura and in the seminal Danish fusion orchestra, Entrance, who reunited for Montmartre's one-year anniversary in May 2011.

They share an incredible heartfelt expression, and perhaps to some a certain Nordic melancholy. But they are also two very unique artists, having separately explored different areas of music over the past decades.

In 2011, they teamed up once again to record the intimate duo album Even Closer, a tranquil mix of time-honoured standards and daring improvisations.

The result, combining Mikkelborg's crisp, airy soundscapes and Clausen's intricate and thoughtful lyricism, is a beautiful and intensely moving experience

Palle Mikkelborgs og Thomas Clausens venskab går mere end 40 år tilbage. De har samarbejdet gentagne gange på nogle af dansk jazz' mest legendariske projekter, blandt andet på Miles Davis' Aura og i det banebrydende fusionsorkester, Entrance, som genforenedes i anledning af Montmartres etårs fødselsdag tilbage i maj. De er fælles om et utroligt dybtfølt udtryk, og måske en vis nordisk melankoli. Men de er også to meget unikke kunstnere, som hver især har udforsket forskellige områder af musikken i de seneste årtier. I 2011 samledes de dog igen for at indspille det intime duoalbum, Even Closer, en fredfyldt blanding af klassiske standarder og modige improvisationer. Resultatet, der kombinerer Mikkelborgs sprøde, luftige lydlandskaber og Clausens intrikate og lyriske eftertænksomhed, er en smuk og intenst rørende oplevelse.

Carsten Dahl, piano

Stefan Pasborg, drums

• Carsten Dahl (piano/ DK)
• Stefan Pasborg (drums/ DK)

Two of Denmark's most prominent musicians recently returned from a much anticipated duo-recording session at the well-known Rainbow Studio in Oslo.

Stefan Pasborg and Carsten Dahl have played together in several different settings over the last 5 years often in larger venues.

Now they extend their studio meeting to an intense performance for the very first time on the Montmartre stage.

They have both manifested themselves as strong personalities on the music scene, not only in Denmark, but also abroad.

With a rich appetite for exploring, Pasborg brings his potent yet highly sensitive drumming, while Dahl demonstrates his superior technique and musicality on keys.

Together they move the music seamlessly in the open space of jazz incorporating swing, bebop, cool and free improvisations.

A unique chance to hear two of Europe's sound breaking musicians in the demanding duo format.

To af Danmark mest betydningsfulde musikere mødtes for nyligt til en længe ventet duo-indspilning i det kendte Rainbow Studio i Oslo. Stefan Pasborg og Carsten Dahl har spillet sammen i flere og større konstellationer de sidste 5 år, men denne aften udvider de deres møde i studiet til en intens koncert, og for første gang, på Montmartres scene. De har begge manifesteret sig som stærke personligheder i musikken, ikke kun i Danmark, men også i udlandet. Med en rig appetit på at udforske bringer Pasborg sit potente og på samme tid følsomme trommespil, mens Dahl leverer frit fra sin overlegne teknik og musikalitet. Sammen løfter de musikken let og flydende i jazzens åbne rum og inkorporerer swing, bebop, cool og frie improvisationer. En unik chance for at høre to af Europas 'soundbreaking' musikere i det krævende duo-format.

I hver runde af konkurrencen er der en fagjury på 3 personer, der bedømmer de deltagende bands på bl.a. originalitet, performance, teknik og personligt udtryk. Dermed får de deltagende bands ikke kun eksponering på spillestederne, men også opmærksomhed fra musikere og fagfolk, der giver konstruktiv feedback på deres musik og performance.

BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF TANGO:
PABLO ZIEGLER TRIO
CELEBRATING ASTOR PIAZOLLA

Pablo Ziegler, piano

Celebrating Astor Piazolla

• Pablo Ziegler (piano / AR)
• Quique Sinesi (guitar / AR)
• Walter Castro (bandeneon / AR)
  
  

Pablo Ziegler is the foremost improviser in modern tango.

Very few others have succeeded in blending tango and jazz like Pablo Ziegler who is also world famous for playing for 8 years with Astor Piazzolla's quintet.

With his own trio project he won the Latin Grammy in 2005 for best tango album, 'Bajo Cero', recorded with guitarist Quique Sinesi and bandoneon virtuoso Walter Castro.

With his follow-up live album project, 'Buenos Aires Report' (2007) he once again pushed the boundaries for Tango Nuevo and proved how his instrument – the piano – can still expand with mystery and charm.

Now he is visiting Copenhagen again and we are very proud that this time the Pablo Ziegler Trio will play at Jazzhus Montmartre.

Latin passion, charm and melancholy – with a blend of jazz – from the heart of Argentina at the most intimate jazz club in Copenhagen.

World Class Tango.
