Alex Riel at 80: Koppel/Riel/Koppel at Jazzhus Montmartre

We are proud to celebrate Alex Riel’s 80th birthday at Montmartre as the sublime drummer takes the stage with his great musical friends and colleagues through the years. Riel was the preferred Danish drummer with many of the big American jazz musicians visiting Montmartre through the 60’s and 70’s.
The icon Anders Koppel on hammond organ and his son, star saxophonist Benjamin Koppel, are reunited as a trio with Alex Riel behind the drums.

Vi er stolte af at kunne fejre Alex Riels 80-års fødselsdag på Montmartre, når den sublime trommeslager atter indtager scenen med sine musikalske venner og kollegaer gennem årene. Riel var den foretrukne danske trommeslager hos mange af de store amerikanske jazzmusikere, der besøgte Montmartre gennem 60’erne og 70’erne.
Ikonet Anders Koppel på hammond orgel og hans søn, stjernesaxofonisten Benjamin Koppel, forenes atter som trio med Alex Riel bag trommerne.
De tre musikeres indgående kendskab afspejles med al tydelighed på scenen, når grænserne mellem improvisation og komposition ophæves
