Tthis is some of the recordings from an outstanding birthday-concert at Copenhagen JazzHouse.
When Lars Thoprborg from Copenhagen JazzHouse and the birthday boy made the plans for the week of celebration there was no doubt in
Alex' mind: On the very day, the week should culminate in a trio concert with Kenny Werner and Jesper Lundgaard.
Those of us who were in the audience on September 13th experienced a matinee of outstanding jazz.
On stage, right before our very eyes, Alex Riel Trio proved to us how beautifully tradition
and renewal can be combined in the world of jazz. How openness and inventiveness are necessities in jazz. Alex Riel himself is living proof that even after 43 years in the business it's possible
to maintain your curiosity and enthusiasm".
