Thomas Clausen Trio - Celebrating
Tickets
Danmarks store sansende flygel-poet folder sig ud på højt plan
Hvilken slags jazz spiller de?
Thomas Clausen bevæger sig inden for den moderne, akustiske jazztradition. Hans trio kredser om den nordiske tone, men tager også fat i den amerikanske sangskat og giver den nyt liv med en fin og følsom tilgang. Koncerten byder også på trioens egne værker, der forener det krævende og det smukt enkle.
Hvad skal jeg vide om dem?
Thomas Clausen er en sværvægter, der har spillet med de største legender i jazzhistorien. Som ung var han ofte pianist på Montmartre og spillede med koryfæer som Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster, Miles Davis og Stan Getz. Han har desuden modtaget Statens Kunstfonds livsvarige hædersydelse for sin betydning for dansk musik. Med i trioen er Thomas Fonnesbæk (ofte kaldet NHØP’s naturlige arvtager) og den dynamiske Karsten Bagge, der begge er blandt Nordens absolut stærkeste musikere.

The concert will also feature the trio's own works, which often balance between the complex and the beautifully simple.
