KRISTIN KORB TRIO

Den herboende, amerikanske sanger og bassist, Kristin Korb, indtager Svanekegaarden med en hyldest til sin mentor - og en af jazzhistoriens helt store legender: Ray Brown.

Kristin Korb har med sine swingende baslinier og sin funklende vokal, etableret sig på jazzscenen som en exceptionel kunstner, der behersker begge sine instrumenter med både stor autoritet og en elegant lethed. Hun blev personligt undervist af Ray Brown, og netop relationen til ham er omdrejningspunktet for koncerten.

Sammen med sin faste trio - Magnus Hjorth på klaver og Snorre Kirk på trommer - præsenterer hun et program med musik, de har indspillet sammen, nye arrangementer inspireret af deres samarbejde samt udvalgte kompositioner af Ray Brown.

Glæd dig til en aften, hvor Ray Browns energi, musikalitet og generøsitet vækkes til live - og hvor vi fejrer 100-året for én af jazzens største legender.

Considered by many to be the father of jazz bass, Ray Brown was more than that. He combined the walking lines of Walter Page and the soloing ideas of Oscar Pettiford and made jazz bass playing what it is today.

Ray worked with all the everyone. From Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, to Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson and more.

His bass lines were foundational and made everything swing with warmth and a drive like no other.

Ray was also known as a mentor to young musicians. I was fortunate enough to be one of his students. The Vocal Side of Ray Brown is a curated program that includes some of my favorite treasures from his songbook, songs inspired by lessons I learned from him, and some original gems that you might not have heard before.

2026 is the year to celebrate 100 years of Ray Brown: the music AND the man.
