An evening with Copenhagen Jazz Guides continued

Master saxophonist Jacob Dinesen plays jazz in his favourite sportswear from
Bayern München Sports Verein. He has a whole collection. Sometimes he wears it under his pinstripe Italian silk suit that he also likes to wear on stage.

Here is Jacob in some Japanese outfit joined by power player Luther Thomas who is living in Copenhagen. Luther Thomas is also a pioneer of the avantgarde and free jazz movement in New York. To play one of Charlie Parker's fast bebop compositions in unison is an art in itself.

This is the wonderful pianoplayer Mikkel Mark from the same group who puts a lot of soul into his pianosolo.

Denmark is famous for the vast number of talentet bassplayers. The most famous is probably Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen. Jeppe Skovbakke is a new name. Here he is playing a solo in one of his own compositions as a member of Rasmus Ehlers Trio.

With Copenhagen Jazz Guides you often get close to the musicians. Here is pianist Rasmus Ehlers after a concert in Vognporten arm in arm with Poul Ehlers, famous bassplayer and founder of the legendary 1968 cult band Blue Sun. You have probably already guessed that this is a picture of father and son.
