Tickets
Masser af herlig brasiliansk puls og rytme med sangkometen Pille-Rite Rei i front
Hvilken slags jazz spiller de?
Kom og nyd en skøn blanding af brasilianske rytmer og moderne nordisk jazz med Thomas Clausen som en forrygende kapelmester. Ud over samba og bossa nova-jazz spilles også spændende brasilianske genrer som baiao og choro, som fortolket gennem Clausens mesterlige europæiske jazzbaggrund. I front er sangkometen Pille-Rite Rei, der elsker at bygge bro mellem forskellige kulturer.
Hvad skal jeg vide om dem?
Hans brasilianske eventyr begyndte for alvor i midten af 1990’erne og har siden manifesteret sig som et af de mest succesfulde tværkulturelle projekter i dansk jazz. Hans brasilianske projekter har ført ham på turnéer i USA, Tyskland, Sverige og naturligvis Brasilien, hvor hans evne til at integrere den nordiske tone i de tropiske rytmer er blevet hyldet som noget helt unikt.

🇬🇧 ENGLISH:
What kind of jazz do they play?
A unique blend of modern jazz and Brazilian "música popular". It's not just samba or bossa nova jazz, but an exploration of Brazilian genres such as baiao and choro, as interpreted through Clausen's masterful European jazz background.
What should I know about them?
As a young man, Thomas Clausen was often a pianist in Montmartre and played with luminaries such as Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster, Miles Davis and Stan Getz. He has also received the Danish Arts Foundation's lifetime achievement award for his importance to Danish music. His Brazilian adventures began in earnest in the mid-1990s and have since manifested themselves as one of the most successful cross-cultural projects in Danish jazz. His Brazilian projects have taken him on tours in the USA, Germany, Sweden and of course Brazil, where his ability to integrate the Nordic tone into the tropical rhythms has been hailed as something completely unique.
What do the critics say?
"Enchanting - a masterpiece." — Politiken (about the album Balacobaco)
"Thomas Clausen has long played Brazilian music... but here he has truly found the Brazilian in himself. A beautiful combination of elegance and a hell of a sound." — Berlingske
"A music filled with Nordic longing. An original music written in a country where it snows, but with a heart that beats in time with Rio." — Statens Kunstfond
"Skilled, brilliant and imaginative ... nothing less than a masterpiece.." — Jazz Journal (UK)
