Alex Riel at 80: Riel/Kristiansen/Ovesen 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.
This evening, Riel is accompanied by two jazz musicians who are part of the absolute Danish elite. Søren Kristiansen made a name for himself at a very young age and has since then had great success as both soloist and working as a sideman for many of the big American jazz icons, among others. The bassist Thomas Ovesen has accompanied, toured and recorded with all the big, Danish jazz musicians and is especially praised for his ability to unite the music with his melodic and attentive play....

Vi er stolte af at kunne fejre Alex Riels 80-års fødselsdag med et brag 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.
Denne aften akkompagneres Riel af to jazzmusikere, der tilhører den absolutte danske elite. Søren Kristiansen slog igennem som ganske ung og har siden da haft stor succes som både soloartist og sideman hos blandt andre mange af de store amerikanske jazzikoner. Bassisten Thomas Ovesen har akkompagneret, turneret og indspillet med alle de store, danske jazzmusikere og er især blevet hyldet for sin evne til at samle musikken med sit melodiske og opmærksomme spil.
