basseAnders Mogensen - batterieHe was born on 23rd September 1926 and died on 17th July 1967. Nearly sixty years after his passing, Coltrane's legacy continues to shine and profoundly influence contemporary and modern jazz. He is, in my opinion, the great legend of jazz!

Come and celebrate this extraordinary musician through his mythical albums. With nearly a million monthly listeners, pianist Carl Winther has established himself as a musician capable of reaching a wide audience.

This is not surprising when listening to his jazz piano style, imbued with empathy and a deep swing.

Thanks to international collaborations with musicians such as Randy Brecker and Walt Weiskopf, as well as 15 years of touring alongside saxophone legend Jerry Bergonzi, Carl Winther has clearly demonstrated his international reach.

Today, Carl Winther teams up with Scottish saxophone virtuoso Tommy Smith, a leading figure on the international jazz scene since the mid-1980s, when he joined vibraphonist Gary Burton's band.

Drumming legend Jack DeJohnette said of Tommy Smith: « One of the most important voices among today's tenor saxophonists.  »The Carl Winther Trio consists – in addition to Carl on piano – of rising bass star Rune Fog-Nielsen and Grammy-winning jazz drummer Anders Mogensen.

A very cohesive trio, here accompanying a leading figure in international jazz. The audience will have an extraordinary experience in the footsteps of John Coltrane. Enjoy.
