Duke Jordan: In Copenhagen

Duke Jordan settled down in Copenhagen in the autumn of 1973 and remained here to his death. He was mainly known for his work with Charlie Parker. The idea for this solo CD came about when he played at the Elsinore Jazz Festival in1992. The session was taped but the sound was not very good, so he recorded the whole session over again in a studio in Copenhagen and the result you can hear on this CD. Duke was a very good composer and he plays 6 of his own compositions on the CD.

Teddy Wilson: In Copenhagen

Teddy Wilson is widely regarded as having been the most important pianist of the swing era. A master of touch, taste and technique Wilson was, above all, a pianist of surpassing elegance ? a quality which was also very much evident in his personality. This CD was recorded live on May 21 1979 at the Slukefter Club in Tivoli, Copenhagen and it is an impressive example of how musicians of the same aesthetic persuasion can achieve excellent compatibility with hardly any preparation or rehearsal time. Throughout the CD Wilson gets great support from, and gives generous solo space to, Hugo Rasmussen (bass) who has worked with a host of top American jazzmen over the years and Ed Thigpen (drums) who settled in Copenhagen in 1972 having built an international reputation.

Papa Bue: Live In Copenhagen

The Viking Jazzband was formed in 1956 by Danish trombonist Arne "Papa Bue” Jensen , and is still the most popular traditional Jazzband in Denmark. Throughout their sparkling career they have had two long-term engagements in Copenhagen: for many years they were the in-house band at the famous Restaurant Vingaarden, and in later years they were the band in Tivoli’s Jazzhouse Slukefter and the regular Sunday band at one of the outdoor stages in the Tivoli Garden. These two sessions are from those venues. Live In Copenhagen features a stellar cast, and has been compared to Louis Armstrong among others. The jazz is exciting and high-quality, and the overall result highly enjoyable.

Horace Parlan: In Copenhagen

A European tour with Miriam Makeba in 1970 had brought Parlan to Copenhagen, where four off-days gave him time to look around the city. He liked what he saw and two years later he settled down in Copenhagen. Horace Parlan enjoys playing solo Piano ? but hasn?t had the chance to do it all that often. Parlan?s aim in making this CD was to give highly personal interpretations of compositions which he has cherished over the years but which have not been over-recorded. He says: "I am not a Tatum ? I have to make the material fit my particular style and I spent quite a bit of time working on the arrangement. I wanted to do a reflective CD ? no racehorse tempos, no pyrotechnics ? and also make the harmonic structures as interesting as possible."

Ralph Sutton: In Copenhagen

Ralph Sutton visited Copenhagen a number of times and played with the local musicians. On this CD he plays solo, duo, quartet, sextet and septet with the best Danish musicians. Ralph Sutton is a brilliant stride piano player who played timeless jazz. He was influenced by James P. Johnson and Fats Waller.On the sextet and septet session his fellow American Wild Bill Davison plays trumpet. His piano solo is Bix Beiderbecke?s famous composition In The Dark.This is a CD for fans that like timeless jazz played by very good musicians.

Zoot Sims: In Copenhagen

Danish Radio recorded these tracks live at the Slukefter Club in Copenhagen?s Tivoli Garden on August 24 1978. Saxophonist Zoot Sims visited Denmark a few times and on this occasion he had one of the greatest house trios of all time ? Kenny Drew (piano), Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (bass) and Ed Thigpen (drums) ? world renowned for the backing they gave to many American giants who were so well supported on their visits to Denmark. Their eloquence, like Zoot?s, speaks for itself. Pianist Jimmy Rowles, who played in Zoot?s quartet, went to some trouble to work up a library of lesser known songs which would suit the tenorist and In The Middle Of A Kiss, included on this CD, is one of the ones he chose.

Frank Rosolino: In Copenhagen

Frank Rosolino managed to squeeze in trips abroad for specific tours. In the Summer of 1978 he did what was to be his last solo tour in Europe. He came to Copenhagen late in August to play at Slukefter in the Tivoli Gardens which is where the present CD was recorded. He was backed by Thomas Clausen Trio and with no restrictions on length of performances the quartet was allowed to expand the chosen pieces. Blue Daniel was Frank?s best known composition. It has the unusual chorus length of 14 bars. Waltz For Diane is played in waltz time. There is plenty of fast slide work here. How About You? Is nicely relaxed and serves as a prelude to a marathon blues performance using Thelonious Monk?s Straight No Chaser as the theme. There Is No Greater Love uses short, punching phrases during the solo to add impetus.

Johnny Griffin And Lockjaw Davis: In Copenhagen

All of the tracks on this CD were recorded live by Danish Radio at the Montmartre Club in Copenhagen on July 10 1984. There were many teams with two tenors: Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt, Ben Webster and Red Holloway, Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray, 'but I don?t believe any two-tenor unit stayed together so long and travelled the country as much as Johnny Griffin and I did' Eddie Davis told Stanley Dance. There was a marked contrast between the approaches of the two men. Davis, self-taught, modelled himself on Ben Webster at the outset, especially when playing ballads, and many have observed a Charlie-Parker like rhythmic quality in Griffin?s playing, particularly at faster tempos. In tandem they made an unbeatable team. On these tracks they are backed by Harry Pickens.

Jay McShann: In Copenhagen

Jay McShann gets a mention in any jazz history, though often his name appears as the leader of the band in which Charlie Parker reached musical maturity. He was just sixty when he was invited to go to Europe, and close to seventy when on a return trip he made these remarkably fresh recordings of Kansas City blues. Inevitably, echoes of his sixty-five years of piano blues playing are to be heard here, memories of blues played in After Hours sessions and railroad boogies like The Staggers. There are blues standards like How Long Blues and we are witness to a reflective, nostalgic memory of Charlie Parker in Yardbird Waltz and a recollection of those good times when the "singing bartender" Joe Turner teamed up with Pete Johnson in Kansas City to blast out Cherry Red.
