Fyn er Fin, og Djangomania var det også!

Monday, November 5th, 2007

Djangomania hit the unsuspecting town of Middlefart last Friday night with three sets of fine Django Jazz. There was a very pleasant and mixed crowd in Holmes, where this recording is from.

Many thanks to Kurt Mortensen violin for arranging these two jobs.

Just before I catch my flight to China tomorrow I would like to share with you this recording of Swing Size by Henrik Larsen.

Jakob Svensson on Vibes is one of the many guests that will be appearing on Henrik’s Album.

Right, now I’m off to see if I can buy me an ERHU.

Djangomania In the Studio

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

Henrik Larsens Djangomania have just finished a second 3 day session in the studio working on the long awaited CD featuring Henrik’s fantastic compositions. Jørgen Martinsen and Jan Runge were amongst the guests, I’m very much looking forward to hearing the final product, but it will be some months and sessions away.

Django Festival er Forbi

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Well, Djangomania made their appearance at the Django tribute festival on Sunday, making their appearance right after Gadjoswing.

I’m glad to say we went down really well, though it was obvious from the atmosphere that it was the last day of a festival which had involved late nights and some heavy partying.

I’m also pleased to announce that I’ve managed to get www.beautymakeup online and able to take orders, the site still requires the kind of pampering and manicuring that is appropriate to a beauty salon, so if you take the time to visit the site please let me know if there are any issues you see I need to attend to.

Equally if you need a webshop, give me a call.

Don’t worry though, I will always be a bassist first, then a programmer.

Django Music At Wedding Reception

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

Despite Henrik’s high temperature and cold fingers, despite constant rain and puddles forming around our music equipment, despite not being able to find the reception and driving around Hundested for 30 minutes we thoroughly enjoyed playing for Steen’s wedding reception yesterday. We hope they enjoyed it too.

More Gypsy Jazz on the Way

Friday, April 13th, 2007

I was in rehearsal again yesterday evening with Denmark’s great Django guitarist Henrik Larsen and the renowned Gypsy style rhythm player Robert Pilgaard. We’re still working on the much promised new album of Henrik’s. I have heard that the Accordian player Kurt Larsen will be making an appearance on the recording, along with some more of Europe’s leading musicians. Meanwhile here is a taste of what is to come…….
