Richard Nelson in Copenhagen

Yesterday I had the pleasure of listening to Richard playing a jazz gig here in Copenhagen and Richard did a superb job ! Great playing, great sound, a super backup band and a good, relaxed feeling all over. Richard said from the bandstand, that it was absolutely un-rehearsed and that was hard to believe !

I don't think jazz gets much better than this !

I got Richard's CD "Moments Notice" there as well and I love it ! I can really recommend it !

Well done, Richard !

Ole

Ole thanks for coming and the kind words of appreciation. I'm glad you like the CD . Yes the band were something else!!!! You really cant ask for much better than that. I was treated so well by the managemant of Portalen... what a great weekend. Thankyou Denmark....people who appreciate jazz.

I’m glad I got out to that concert. Really good stuff.A steel player of that caliber in,!! Copenhagen!! And backed by a trio with forces from The Radio Bigband.
I’m kind of new to pedal steel, but when Richard played
one of my jazz favourites: Round About Midnight. Dig it!
Monk must’ve written it for pedal steel! I’ld never have thought about it. Great playing on Coltrane’s My Favourite Things!!, Moments Notice!!. If you see this, Richard, I just regret the famous bass player seemed a little too busy!
To interested folks, I’ll post some pics from the concert and the beautiful girl on the first row, what was her name now,.... ehh,.. Bethel, was it?

Hi Richard
I must say, very nice to meet you. I’ll try to make that October gig in Ireland. Meanwhile, I’ll post those photos from the concert (and the sexy girl on the front row), but I just have to learn a little "link-database" work at first! Jeppe

Jeppe,
If you have trouble with publishing the pictures, you can mail them to me and I can host them for you if you like.
