Sanne Salomonsen

Hanne Boel is very special, she is more to soul and fusion style and even Jazz. Here she talks about Jazz in Denmark and her music as well.

And for you guys that doesn´t understand Danish,

I´ll try a little resumee what she is talking about.

She say´s that Jazz and Rock today is an melting pot and she thinks it is stupid to labellize the music and to put it in a box with a label on. Doing that gets people afraid to listen, then you have already made your prejudgement clear. You have already made your choice that you  dislike this music. 

-You don´t even get the music a chance. 

-Jazz and rock today contains a lot of improvisation, and thats is appreaciated by younger people that don´t categorise or labelling so much any more.

She also knows her audience she says;

- The true jazzfans are more active listeners and demanding, but they are also the most honest to the artists.

-They know when it is good, and I can feel it, when they like what I do. You feel the warmth of the response from the listeners, and that also includes all the members in the band.

Hanne Boel is a pro!

Victor Borge a Danish comedian in music!

(HD)

Victor Borge, 

do not need any further presentation I think, but this kind of "rude" satire and humor reminds me a lot of the kind of humor that I associate with the special student-humor of the Swedish town LUND.

He was one of all stars that made  two celebrated shows at "Olympen" in Lund the  9 sept 1977 and 7 oct 1989.

More of him will come later!

By the way he is from Copenhagen, Denmark...

 

1909-2000 RIP  Mr Borge.

The Closness to Copenhagen / Danish Girls / Damer (Piger)

 The Closness to Denmark and Copenhagen for us that lived in Malmö or The Province of Scania (Skåne) had opputunities to listen to Danish Radio and watch Danish TV long before we had cable and Internet. In fact you could hear and see lots of better artists, and listen to more differetiated music than were served by The Biased Swedish Radio and TV.

Denmark served more news of Continental and International Groups and stars than Swedish Radio/TV did, and still does. The homemade "trash" from Sweden Contained numbers of so called "danceband" music and Schlagersingers that were supposed to feed the needs of the "majority" of the listeners in Sweden. The music of those bands were music, often just 3 chord tunes, and that merely was for the unique "Swedish folkparks" in the genuine countryside of Sweden, and to the restaurants that offered dancemusic between the meals and the drinks..

 Pure Trash nothing to listen to at all, and so far away you could be from some kind of quality in the shape of the world of music, or what you might think is good music. Almost shamefull to even call music...

 Sweden got some big "stars" like ABBA of course, and some other international groups in that gengre. And that´s not so bad.

But in fact Sweden and Denmark had also some fantastic great Jazz and fusion artists that were very well known abroad, But few even knew about in Sweden. The Policy of Swedens National radio called "Public Service" is still the same or even Worse today. That´s my opinion anyway.

Jazzmusic and contemporary music is considered as a music for an extraordinary exclusive bunch of listeners that seems to be hard to satisfy. So Exclusive that your chances to hear some new good jazzmusic from The  Swedish or International Jazzscenes that is if you have some small chance to hear it in the Sundayafternoons for just one or two hours a week, if your lucky!

Today, we are lucky to have Internet, both for listening to the radiostations from all over the world, and watching TV stations, and you can make your choice whenever you like.

Your own  Choice is almost awesome. But it is very sad both for young and older jazzmusicians that indeed are very good, to get their music some attention, and sometimes they don´t even know how to promote themselves anymore in a hardening competitive situation .  That´s a fact but also very sad. The best thing to do is to support these jazzcats that struggle, and give them your support. Giving them your support by going to some conserts if you have the opportunity is the best way. This music is meant to be listen to live.

 Here some very good Danish singers and artists that was very well known and loved in South of Sweden in the 80´s and 90´s

I have seen some of them live too. They are all very good!

Lundakarnevalen 2014 Official aftermovie / A Tribute to Karlshamn

Lundakarnevalen 2014  Official aftermovie  in HD

 

  Lund an Old University town in south of Sweden has a tradition to have a carneval every 4th year.

Lots of fun and lots of very special sense of humor, called " Lunds studenthumor". Often comes from the "Spex".

Shows, Varities, "Spex"(Spectacle), "Circus", "Musicals" and "Theatres" all mixed with a lot of Burlesque humor and Satire- all made by the Students themselves.

The Student-humor of Lund is very special,

it contains a lot of irony and sometimes a "rude" satire. Many times a mixture of them both.

(Photos: R Jedemark)

It is hold mainly around the University Building and the Old Cathedral in the centrum of Lund, called Lundagård. Note: Both The Danish and The Swedish flag are always in front of the Old Cathedral.

  The big carneval is hold for the whole city. (Check the movie above)

Students from Lunds High School of Technology

and very often Medicine students are those that keep this nice tradition alive.

Alte Kamereren is an old orchestra of amateur-musicians, balletdancers and also students from the music conservatory in Malmö.

  everybody take this very "seriously"...and are playing "rather than good" !?

 And of course a lot of music!

Dexter Gordon Quartet - Cry Me a River (1955) / Julie London (1955)

Dexter Gordon Quartet - Cry Me a River (1955)

Personnel: Dexter Gordon (tenor sax), Carl Perkins (piano), Leroy Vinnegar (bass), Chuck Thompson (drums)

Julie London - Cry me a river (1955)

 

Julie London (vocals), Barney Kessell (guitar), Ray Leatherwood (bass). 

 

My own Remarks; Dexter Gordons way of his playing , just a little bit slow (offbeat) Typical for Dexters way of playing Ballads, masterful like no one else!

But still correct, makes the way of his playing like he told you a whole real story of suffering ! Here he is about to nearly touch the blues but ... not!

Julie Londons correct singing at time / beat, and sensual voice makes this song something special.

The bassline and the "lonely guitar" gets you somewhere else instead,   in a cold sad and dissapointed  mood.

I like both!
