About this concert
DR Big Band og chefdirigent Miho Hazama hylder legenden Thad Jones, som i år ville være fyldt 100 år!
Med afsæt i det skelsættende album ’A Good Time Was Had By All’ stiller vi skarpt på Thad Jones’ stærke år med DR Big Band i historiske rammer på Musikhuset Dexter.
Thad Jones er en af de største personligheder i bigband-musikkens historie, og satte samtidig sit stærke præg på DR Big Band som bandets leder fra 1977 til 1985.
Thad Jones var manden, der for alvor satte DR Big Band på verdenskortet, ved at udvikle orkesterets helt egen ’sound’. Han lyttede til hver enkelt musikers særpræg og det lykkedes ham, at skabe en særlig, fælles lyd i sit danske orkester.
Et af højdepunkterne i Thad Jones’ tid med DR Big Band var udgivelsen af albummet A Good Time Was Had By All, som blev indspillet live på Jazzhus Montmartre i 1978, og denne aften hylder vi mesterens 100-års fødselsdag ved at genskabe det legendariske album på Musikhuset Dexter.
Glæd dig til et spillevende genhør med bigband-perler som Tip Toe, Kids Are Pretty People og The Farewell i Jones’ egne, originale arrangementer – men selvfølgelig med masser af nye, improviserede indslag af nutidens skarpe bandmedlemmer.
I spidsen for koncerten er DR Big Bands nuværende chefdirigent Miho Hazama, som fører den stolte tradition fra de tidligere chefdirigenter Thad Jones, Bob Brookmeyer og Jim McNeely videre.

Artur Tuznik Biography
Artur Tuznik is a Polish piano player and composer based in Copenhagen, Denmark, active on European scene for jazz and improvised music both as a bandleader and sideman. His recognizable musical voice is strongly influenced by language of impressionism and folk music of his origins, while previously rooted in tradition of modal-jazz and sound we know as Scandinavian jazz. Most recently, after completing his studies at classical DKDM in Copenhagen, he engaged into stilistics from between worlds of classical music and contemporary improvisation, being known for his daring approach to combine achievements of earlier music with modern understanding of songforms and instrumentarium.
After moving to Denmark in 2008, Tuznik made his recording debut in 2011 with his “Licak/Tuznik Quintet”, released on the Danish label BlackOut, feat. Anders Mogensen on drums. The album was received by critics as an “excellent contemporary recordand real must listen'', and Tuznik has been described as “unusually gifted improviser” and “brilliant soloist”. That was followed by a realese of his Outbreak Quartet by label of Radio Katowice, after the band won the most important competition in Poland “Bielska Zadymka Jazzowa”.
In 2016 Artur Tuznik made his first trio release featuring Danish rhythm section of Nils Davidsen and Jakob Høyer - major figures on Scandinavian scene for improvised music. Album “Artur Tuznik TRIO” has been released by Polish label Multikulti, followed by great reviews internationally. The major Danish newspaper POLITIKEN placed it in TOP 5 Jazz Albums of 2017.
"I have listened to this album many times, and it's not possible to get it out of your head. Tuznik has a zone of an alluring calm and
adventurous contemplation in his playing"
Christian Munch-Hansen, POLITIKEN (DK) - ***** (5/6)
Since then, Tuznik engaged himself into touring, composing or performing in a number of various co-operations with Atom String Quartet, Thomas Agergaard, Maciej Obara, Moo Latte, and several other formations playing his original music. He premiered his cross-over work "SWAN Suite" under CPH jazzfestival 2018 receiving 5 stars in POLITIKEN. Before that, his work WOODS has been rewarded with a prize by the Danish Popular Authors Association (DPA), presented by Danish Radio Big Band and broadcasted live. On Scandinavian scene he gained recognition with his TRIO and by performing with Thomas Blachman, Lennart Ginman, Anders Christensen, Anders Mogensen, Thomas Agergaard, Tomasz Dabrowski among many others.
Internationally, in various projects, Tuznik has shared the stage and/or recorded with artists like Tomasz Stanko, Jeremy Pelt, Tony Malaby, Maciej Obara. Artur has also been performing on festivals in Europe, USA, Canada and such prestigeous venues as Lincoln Center in NYC.
As a bandleader, Tuznik has been awarded best-soloist and Grand Prix prizes on a number of international jazz competitions in Europe - Burghausen (Germany), Getxo (Spain), Hoeilaart (Belgium), Jazz-Nad-Odra (PL), Bielska Zadymka Jazzowa (PL) and more.
