Tickets
Hyldest til Gil Evans og Miles Davis' fortolkning af "Porgy and Bess"
Miles Davis der i år ville have fyldt 100 år blev en af vor tids mest indflydelsesrige skikkelser i moderne jazz, som genopfandt genren i 1959 med Kind of Blue, og gentagende gange har fornyet jazzen igen.
I den anledning har vi givet frie hænder til fire af Skandinaviens mest markante trompet-profiler til at mindes Miles. Denne aften med danske Thomas Fryland i front under overskriften "Porgy and Bess Revisited"
Hvad siger kunstneren om denne aften?
“Samtlige af de største komponister jeg har arbejdet med, såsom Maria Schneider, Jim McNeely og Bob Mintzer, har Gil Evans og Miles Davis produktion af "Porgy and Bess" øverst på deres liste over alle tiders kontemporære Jazz album", siger Fryland, der derfor vil fremføre sin stærkt personlige version af værket på Montmartre denne aften.
Hvad skal jeg vide om dem?
Thomas Fryland var den allerførste modtager af "Årets Danske Jazzmusiker" i 1998, hvilket cementerede hans position som en af landets førende trompetister i en ung alder. Som led i sin lange karriere har han indspillet og optrådt med et hav af internationale navne, herunder Lee Konitz, Benny Golson og Renee Rosnes. Han er desuden kendt som et pædagogisk fyrtårn i musikmiljøet, da han er en vigtig mentor for kommende generationer af danske jazzmusikere gennem sit virke som underviser.
Hvad siger anmelderne?
"Frylands spil er præget af et enormt overskud og en dyb kærlighed til traditionen, men han formår altid at gøre den levende og aktuel i nuet." — Information
"Thomas Fryland er en af de få herhjemme, der mestrer det svære bebop-sprog til perfektion. Det lyder så ubesværet, når han spiller, at man glemmer, hvor teknisk svært det egentlig er." — Jazz Special
