Playing Standards
Here
at the agency I am really excited about this new trio. A trio feat.
Some of the finest jazz players from both the Danish and american
scene, building on a long musical tradition between these two musical worlds/countries, that started back in the 60s with american jazz musicians living in Copenhagen such as Ben Webster, Dexter Gordon, the old Jazzhus Montmarte. , Kenny Drew and many others.

| Gregory Hutchinson |
CarstenDahl is among the greatest pianists on the European jazz scene. He
has stirred international attention together with Mads Vinding and
Alex Riel and, most recently, he has taken Montmartre by storm with
the star bassist Eddie Gomez.
And earlier this year the lengedary
Jazzhus Montmartre set up the musical meeting with Dahl and Gregory
Hutchinson and Rueben Rogers taking on the standard
repertoire. Offering his own suggestion of a sound between Copenhagen
and New York.
Montmartre has a venerated tradition of this sort of
meetings. Just think about Kenny Drew with Niels-Henning Ørsted
Pedersen and Alex Riel.
Now
the trio returns to Copenhagen and Jazzhus Montmarte. In feb 2014 the
trio will be back playing standards, and this time also record the
show. The recording is scheduled for release via Storyville Records
in 2014.

Jazz
Magazine describes him as “the drummer of his generation” and
indeed, Gregory Hutchinson is one of the most highly respected
musicians of our time. His mastery of timing and expression of
rhythms is at the core of his personal style. He is a musician’s
drummer, soundly rooted in the jazz tradition he is able to approach
all styles of music with supreme accuracy and imagination, decorating
compositions with his natural feel and mind blowing innovation.
ReubenRogers'(bas) ability to transport the emotion of a piece into his
accompaniment is akin to that of a fine woven tapestry, creating a
blanket of rhythm and harmony that is welcomed by vocalists and
instrumentalists alike.
