The sun is shining and the nights are getting longer and warmer. many good reasons to stay up late and party on at mandagsklubben.
in may we have a diverse and very exiting program with many spectacular bookings!
our resident artist this month is none other than the legendary drum maestro Victor Jones!!!!!!!!!
Born in Newark, New Jersey in 1954, Victor Jones started his musical journey playing trumpet in the symphonic orchestra of the Elmwood Elementary School in East Orange. After 10 years of studying the instrument, he developed an intense interest in the drums as a result of seeing the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show. While Jones continued his trumpet playing, the drums became his real passion. As a teenager, he won several awards for outstanding musicianship, and in 1975, was discovered by Lou Donaldson. This led to a string of prestigious gigs, including two years with Donaldson's outfit and then a stint with Stan Getz's band. Touring with Getz introudeced Jones to an international audience, and he has since toured and recorded with a multitude of renown artists, such as James Moody, Woody Shaw, Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Clarke, Phyllis Hyman, Stanley Turrentine, Masabumi Kikuchi, Michel Pettruciani, Dizzy Gillespie, Chaka Khan and Jimmy Scott....
