DEAR ALEX - Stefan Pasborg Trio

Tickets

Trommeslageren Stefan Pasborg hylder sin gudfar og læremester, ikonet Alex Riel

Da den verdensberømte danske trommeslager Alex Riel døde i juni sidste år, blev han sendt herfra med en tromme hyldest fra ikke mindre end ni af Danmarks største trommeslagere i Christianskirken på Christianshavn.

Iblandt var trommeslageren Stefan Pasborg, der er Riels gudsøn og som har lært sit spil fra mesteren selv.

Nu hylder Stefan Pasborgs trio den store legende ved to koncerter på Jazzhus Montmartre i juli under Copenhagen Jazz Festival.

Stefan Pasborg har etableret sig som en seriøs og innovativ musiker, der bla. har samarbejdet og indspillet med store navne som: John Tchicai, Miroslav Virtuos og Tomasz Stanko med en stil, der spænder vidt fra jazz, afro, balkan og til rock.

Pasborgs nuværende trio består af de to anerkendte sværvægtere på jazzscenen, en af Danmarks største pianister Carsten Dahl, og på saxofon og fløjte den anmelderroste blæser-virtuos Fredrik Lundin.

Trioen spiller egne kompositioner og gør sig bemærket med en alsidig lyd, der blander nordisk noir med rammeløs, amerikansk free-jazz. Dahl og Lundin kan som få andre male ildevarslende billeder i et dystopisk univers, hvortil Pasborgs knivskarpe, perkussive eksplosioner tvinger musikken til nye højder.

Der opstår et kosmos, hvor tidsfornemmelse ofte tilsidesættes, til fordel for den frie improvisatoriske kunst, som de tre kunstnere mestrer hver især.

Trioens album “DEAR ALEX” udkommer i april.

🇬🇧 ENGLISH:

When the world-famous Danish drummer Alex Riel died in June last year, he was sent off with a drum salute from no less than nine of Denmark's greatest drummers in the Christianskirken in Christianshavn.

Among them was drummer Stefan Pasborg, who is Riel's godson and has learned his playing from the master himself.

Now Stefan Pasborg's trio is paying tribute to the great legend at two concerts at Jazzhus Montmartre in July during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival.

Over the past 20 years, Stefan Pasborg has established himself on the Danish and international music scene as a serious and innovative musician who has collaborated and recorded with big names such as: John Tchicai, Miroslav Virtuos and Tomasz Stanko.

He has played numerous concerts all over the world. His style ranges widely from jazz, afro, Balkan and rock. Pasborg's current trio consists of the two recognized heavyweights on the jazz scene, one of Denmark's greatest pianists Carsten Dahl, and on saxophone and flute it is the critically acclaimed wind virtuoso Frederik Lundin.

The trio plays their own compositions and makes themselves known with a versatile sound that mixes Nordic noir with frameless, American free-jazz. Dahl and Lundin can paint ominous pictures in a dystopian universe like few others, to which Pasborg's razor-sharp, percussive explosions force the music to new heights.

A cosmos emerges where the sense of time is often disregarded in favor of the free improvisational art that the three artists each master.

The trio's album “DEAR ALEX” will be released in April.
