To kæmpe europæiske jazztalenter udfordrer hinanden efter års skoling i NYC
To af de største jazz-talenter i Danmark og Holland møder hinanden i denne koncert på Montmartre under Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2026.
Hvilken slags jazz spiller de?
Det store danske guitartalent Jacob Artved dyrker en lyd, der er forankret i jazzens guldalder, men som han samtidig tilfører et moderne drive fuld af egne kompositioner. Hans stil er inspireret af ikoner som Charlie Parker, Wes Montgomery og Sonny Rollins. Musikken er upoleret og ærlig, og tager udgangspunkt i jazzens standardrepertoire. Men Artved er fantastisk til at genopfinde det hele i nuet med en stærk energi, der minder publikum om, hvorfor jazzen med sin urkraft af evig improvisation bestandigt formår at forny sig selv.
Hvad skal jeg vide om dem?
Mødet mellem disse to kæmpetalenter er med sikkerhed sprængfyldt af overraskelser.
Den hollandske saxofonist Gideon Tazelaar betragtes som et teknisk vidunderbarn. Han har turneret verden rundt med navne som Wynton Marsalis og Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra og er kendt for sin enorme klang og historiske musikalske indsigt, som han tilføjer stærke personlige farver.
Jacob Artved er forlængst udråbt som det største danske guitartalent i årtier. Han flyttede til New York som helt ung og blev hurtigt en del af byens fremtrædende jazzelite. Han har udgivet flere anmelderroste album, og i en ung alder spillet med legender som Billy Hart, Louis Hayes, Billy Drummond og Jeb Patton.
Begge musikere har haft deres jævne gang på de legendariske klubber som Village Vanguard og Smalls, og de bringer den kompromisløse "New York-attitude" direkte med op på scenen.
Med sig har de David Wong fra NYC på bas. Han har besøgt København flere gange med grupper som Hank Jonas, Roy Haynes, Jimmy Heath til Cecile Mclorin Salvant, Benny Green. I dag spiller han med i Bill Charlap's trio.
Med er også Michael Shekwoaga på trommer, der spiller i Kenny Garrett's band og har turneret over hele verden med folk som Joey Defrancesco og Gary Bartz. Hans mentor gennem mange år er Billy Hart.
Hvad siger anmelderne?
"Artved er den type guitarist, der kun dukker op én gang hver generation. Hans samspil med Tazelaar er gnistrende og fyldt med en gensidig forståelse, man sjældent oplever."
— Berlingske
"Tazelaar har en tone på sin saxofon, der kan knuse hjerter og starte fester på samme tid. Sammen med Artveds trio løfter han jazzen ind i en ny æra." — DownBeat Magazine (US)

His style is inspired by icons such as Charlie Parker, Wes Montgomery and Sonny Rollins. The music is unpolished and honest, and is based on the standard jazz repertoire.
