Drop Inn har i år tildelt temaer til dagene der repræsenterer det bedste i Jazz.
En overflødighedshornsektion der hylder og fremhæver instrumenter, undergenrer og tidens trends i Jazz-Danmark.
Den anden lørdag i vores festival program er under temaet: Back to New Orleans – NOLA Jazz.
Dr. John Tribute feat. Tricia Boutté & James Martin (US/DK)
Byens bedst blues- og jazzmusikere mødes på Drop Inn’s intime scene og giver et brag af en hyldestkoncert til ingen ringere end legenden Mac Rebennack aka Dr. John. Siden 1960’erne og indtil hans død i 2019 kombinerede han blues, funk, jazz og soul i den lyd, der er så umiskendelig for ‘The Big Easy’; en stor gumbo af spilleglæde, saft, kraft og originalitet. Vel og mærke hele tiden med rødderne dybt plantet i New Orleans fantastiske musikhistorie og med respekt for dem som kom før ham.
Aftenen byder på bandets favoritnumre fra doktorens repertoire i alt fra “Iko Iko” over “Such A Night” fra “The Last Waltz” til hans nok største hit, top 10 singlen “Right Place At The Wrong Time”.
Aftenens band består af medlemmer fra Jazz Five, Chris Copen Band og hele to special guests fra New Orleans; Saxofonist James Martin og sangerinde, Tricia Boutté.
Begge musikere har optrådt flere gange med selveste Dr. John, så det bliver ikke meget mere autentisk.
This year, Drop Inn has assigned themes to the days that represent the best in Jazz.
A super selection that celebrates and highlights instruments, sub-genres and current trends in Jazz-Denmark.
The second Saturday in our festival program is under the theme: Back to New Orleans – NOLA Jazz.
Dr. John Tribute feat. Tricia Boutté & James Martin (US/DK)
The city’s best blues and jazz musicians meet on Drop Inn’s intimate stage and give a bang of a tribute concert to none other than the legend Mac Rebennack aka Dr. John. Since the 1960s and until his death in 2019, he combined blues, funk, jazz and soul in the sound that is so unmistakable for ‘The Big Easy’; a big gumbo of joy of playing, juice, power and originality. Of course, all the while with roots deeply planted in New Orleans’ fantastic music history and with respect for those who came before him.
The evening features the band’s favorite songs from the doctor’s repertoire, from “Iko Iko” to “Such A Night” from “The Last Waltz” to his probably biggest hit, the top 10 single “Right Place At The Wrong Time”.
The evening’s band consists of members of the Jazz Five, the Chris Copen Band and two special guests from New Orleans; Saxophonist James Martin and singer, Tricia Boutté.
Both musicians have performed several times with Dr. John himself, so it doesn’t get much more authentic.
