Montmartre hosts a 10 day concert series to celebrate the legendary drummer Alex Riel’s 70th birthday: Undoubtedly one of the most significant Danish musicians of all time, the illustrious and unparalleled career of the great Alex Riel began right here at Jazzhus Montmartre in the 1960s when he was the club’s house drummer alongside pianist Kenny Drew and bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, the rhythm section that accompanied all of the visiting guest stars, such as Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Ben Webster, Wayne Shorter, Sonny Rollins, Stuff Smith, to name but a few. On September 13th, 2010 it will be exactly 70 years ago that one of the most respected and beloved drummers in jazz came into this world. We are deeply honored and extremely proud to be able to open the doors of Montmartre to welcome back Alex Riel for a 10 day celebration of his life and career. Leading up to his 70th birthday, a stellar cast of his past and present key associates will be joining him at various times, including Palle Mikkelborg, Hanne Boel, Annisette, Mads Vinding, Bo Stief, Niels Lan Doky, George Robert and many others.

NIELS LAN DOKY TRIO Niels Lan Doky (piano / DK) , Morten Ramsbøl (bass / DK), Alex Riel (drums / DK)

Alex Riel´s 70th birthday concert series starts off with 3 nights in company of Niels Lan Doky Trio, and involves both live CD/DVD recording and JAZZHUS MONT-MARTRE LEGENDS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD presented to Alex Riel by Copenhagen’s Mayor of Culture Pia Allerslev. Niels Lan Doky recently returned to Denmark after 29 years abroad, to reopen Jazzhus Montmartre with his friend Rune Bech. His homecoming was marked with the release of his widely acclaimed album ´Return To Denmark´ which quickly earned its well-deserved reputation as one of his best albums ever. The album features the new and now all-Danish Niels Lan Doky Trio with Doky’s longtime associate and on drums, the amazing and ultra-le-gendary Alex Riel, and Denmark’s newest bass star, the incredible Morten Ramsbøl.

Poul Halberg (guitar / DK), Hans Ulrik (saxophones / DK),Frans Bak (keyboards / DK), Bo Stief (bass / DK), Alex Riel (drums / DK)

One of the most enduring jazz/fusion bands in Denmark was the band called Santa Cruz formed in the early 1980s. Santa Cruz has remained one of Alex Riel’s all time favorite bands to play with and it was therefore essential for him to include it in this milestone birthday celebration. The band is as active today as ever and still has some of its original key members in it including keyboard player/composer Frans Bak, guitarist Poul Halberg and of course Alex Riel himself behind the drums. The current line-up is completed by an all-star cast of some the most celebrated and creative musicians in Denmark today, saxophonist Hans Ulrik and bass legend Bo Stief.

By 1970 Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter had both left the Miles Davis group and formed their own group called “Weather Report” which went on to become not only one of the most innovative groups of all time but also one of the most popular groups in jazz history. During one of their first tours, Weather Report actually played right here at the Montmartre. A powerful and multi-cultural cast of five of Copenhagen’s most prolific musicians now join their forces to revisit some of the most iconic tunes of the jazz/fusion era, from timeless Weather Report albums such as “Mr. Gone”, “Black Market”, “Heavy Weather”, “Tale Spinnin’” and others.

Lisa Nilsson (vocal / SE), João Castilho (guitar / BR), Sebastian Notini (percussion / SE)

It’s hard to imagine a Scandinavian vocalist who is more loved and admired than Swe-den’s Lisa Nilsson. Since her major breakthrough in the early 1990s she has relentlessly and continuously compelled, inspired and deeply moved audiences all over Scandina-via and beyond, and mastering a variety of music genres. We are incredibly proud to welcome Lisa for her first engagement in the newly reopened Montmartre, especially as we consider her a part of the family, since she was one of the lead characters in Niels Lan Doky’s feature documentary film from 2005 “Between a Smile and a Tear” which pioneered the idea of a reopened Montmartre here in Store Regnegade. Lisa has spent a lot of time in Brazil in recent years, she even lived there part time in Rio for a while and has done several recording projects there, one of which she is presenting to us tonight.

For her remaining two shows at Montmartre, Lisa Nilsson has invited one of her biggest idols to guest appear with her, the incredible and legendary singer/songwriter and true giant of Brazilian music, Mr. Ivan Lins.

His 1989 hit song ´Love Dance´ is one of the most re-recorded songs in musical history. Ivan Lins will join Lisa Nilsson on stage during the second half of the concert. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear one of today’s greatest musical geniuses in a unique collaboration with an icon of Scandinavian music.

One of the most popular Danish singers of several decades, Hanne Boel, is performing at Montmartre for her first time tonight. She is known to cover several genres such as pop, rock and soul, but tonight we are going to hear her in a jazz context. Also on stage, the very popular Swedish pianist Jacob Karlzon will be joining. Karlzon played with Boel during this year’s Copenha-gen Jazz Festival, and recently he also visited Montmartre as part of the Vik-toria Tolstoy Group. Joining Boel and Karlzon we have the legendary Danish bass player Mads Vinding and of course the master of ceremonies, Alex Riel himself. Truly a spectacular Scandinavian all-star line-up.

During the first month of Molntmartre’s reopening, one of the major revela-tions proved to be the incredible Swiss-American alto saxophonist George Robert who played with Alex Riel as part of our Stan Getz Tribute. The two had an instant musical chemistry and quickly became great friends as well. An international all-star group with George Robert in front seemed like a natural conclusion on this 10 day celebration of Alex’s 70th birthday. Joining them on stage to complete the all-star quartet are one of Denmark’s (and the world’s) all-time greatest bassists, Jesper Lundgaard, and one of Italy’s most pro-minent jazz pianists, the amazing Dado Moroni.

Last May, shortly after the Montmartre’s reopening, Didier Lockwood flew in from Paris and mesmerized us with four intense nights of extreme virtuosity and exaltation, performing with his longtime associate and former Parisian Niels Lan Doky. The success of these performances immediately called for a return engagement, and we now finally succeeded to find an open time gap in Didier’s ultra-busy schedule. He is one of France’s most celebrated and prolific cultural icons where his reputation transcends all layers of society, he is considered by many to be the greatest violinist in jazz today.Joining Didier and Niels on stage this time are two of the most exciting musicians in Denmark today, the incredible bassist Morten Ramsbøl and Montmartre’s much raved about house drummer and young prodigy, Niclas Bardeleben.
