Jesper Thilo 80 Years Celebration at Jazzhus Montmartre

Jesper Thilo has always been there. He has almost become synonymous with the concept of jazz in Denmark. Jesper Thilo has also been “Mr. Tenorsax” in Denmark for most of half a century. Whatever format Thilo moves in, he manages to make the overall musical expression his own. He is at his best in mainstream jazz, and few can, like Jesper Thilo, convey the joy of this golden genre like him. Even fewer master all the surrounding genres with a similar authority.

We’ll be taking through all of the captivating universe of mainstream jazz; from hefty up-tempo and breathtaking swinging medium-tempo to the flattering ballads. All delivered by musicians who live with and in the music, and who always give the audience the best from all shelves....

At these concerts, marking Jesper Thilo's 80 years on this planet, we meet him in his favorite quartet format with his regular group. Three musicians who have the same musical approach as the conductor, and who know how to back him up properly. The four will be expanded with distinguished guest soloists on two of the three concert days. Look forward to an evening where musical enjoyment and big smiles come together in common shared joy.

Jesper Thilo har altid været der. Han er nærmest blevet synonym med begrebet jazz i Danmark. Jesper Thilo har også været “Mr. Tenorsax” i Danmark det meste af et halvt århundrede. Uanset hvilket format Thilo bevæger sig i, formår han at gøre det samlede musikalske udtryk til sit eget. Bedst befinder han sig i mainstream-jazzen, og få kan som Jesper Thilo formidle glæden ved denne gyldne genre. Endnu færre behersker alle de omkringliggende genrer med en tilsvarende autoritet. Vi kommer hele vejen rundt i mainstream-jazzens indtagende univers; fra heftige up-tempo over kodylt swingende medium-tempo til de indsmigrende ballader. Alt sammen leveret af musikere, der lever med og i musikken, og som altid giver publikum det bedste fra alle hylder.

Ved disse koncerter, der markerer Jesper Thilos 80 år på denne klode, møder vi ham i hans foretrukne kvartetformat med hans faste gruppe. Tre musikere, der har samme musikalske indgangsvinkel som kapelmesteren, og som forstår at backe ham optimalt. De fire bliver udvidet med fornemme gæstesolister på to af de tre koncertdage. Se frem til en aften, hvor musikglæde og store smil finder sammen i fælles jubel.
