Den amerikanske pianist Kirk Lightsey er en legende ved jazzklaveret. Denne aften på Jazzhus Montmartre kan han høres med sine gamle venner og skandinaviske yndlingsmusikere, Tomas og Daniel Franck fra Sverige og finske Jukkis Uotila på trommer.
Han blev 86 i år og turnerer stadig verden rundt. Han blev født i Detroit i 1937 og voksede op i byens rige musikkultur. Dybe rødder og en følelse for blues sammen med en rigt udviklet sans for harmoni præger hans spil og gør hans koncerter opløftende og glædelige lejligheder. den imponerende liste over musikere, han har arbejdet, turneret og indspillet med, er Wayne Shorter, Dexter Gordon, Freddie Hubbard, Chet Baker, Yusef Lateef, Betty Carter, Pharoah Sanders, Bobby Hutcherson og Sonny Stitt. Vi taler med andre ord om en af de få overlevende pianister, der var med til at skabe jazz fra slutningen af 1950'erne – og selv i dag udfordrer Kirk Lightsey sit musikerskab på mange forskellige scener og i forskellige konstellationer.
English:
American pianist Kirk Lightsey is a legend of the jazz piano. He turned 86 this year and is still touring the world. He was born in Detroit in 1937, and grew up immersed in that city's rich musical culture. Deep roots and a feeling for the blues, together with a richly developed sense of harmony characterise his playing and make his concerts uplifting and joyful occasions. the impressive list of musicians he has worked, toured and recorded with are Wayne Shorter, Dexter Gordon, Freddie Hubbard, Chet Baker, Yusef Lateef, Betty Carter, Pharoah Sanders, Bobby Hutcherson, and Sonny Stitt. In other words, we are talking about one of the few surviving pianists who helped create jazz from the late 1950s - and even today, Kirk Lightsey challenges his musicianship on many different stages and in different constellations.
This evening at Jazzhus Montmartre he can be heard with his old friends, and favourite Scandinavian musicians, Tomas and Daniel Franck from Sweden and finnish Jukkis Uotila on drums.
