I’m happy to announce a fantastic series of concerts i’m proud to be involved with.
Mikkel Find and I have invited world class trombonist Bert Boeren to Denmark to play a series of gigs between 13th and the 20th April.
The rest of the band consists of the well established local talents – Simon Thorsen on sax and flute and Marko Martinovic on piano.
Mikkel Find and i will of course be on drums and bass.
We are still taking bookings, so watch this space for more info. This should be a series of gigs to remember.

Bop Soup was initially formed to act as a Danish supergroup to entice Bert to play some Bop here in Copenhagen.
- He’s won more awards than you throw a stick at (depending on how good you are at throwing sticks)
- Amongst other bands he has played with  Eurojazz Big Band, the Swingcats, the Dutch Swing College Band, the Bob Brookmeyer Big Band, and in Bart’s Bones
- He has been playing the trombone since 1976
- This is his website:Â www.bertboeren.com/
- He is Dutch
- I first played with him in 2008 and was blown away
- Here is a great clip of him in action:Â www.youtube.com
- If you’re looking for him on CD then the Jazzmasters website might be the best place to look:Â www.jazzmasters.nl
- Er, um…. I can’t think of number 10.

I had a wonderful time playing with the amazing Henrik Larsen (gtr) and the equally amazing rhythm guitarist Robert Pilgaard this weekend.
Word on the street is that the gig scene might be opening up again in Copenhagen after the long financial squeeze. Â I certainly hope that this is true as I want to be playing with these two expert guitarists more often.

I am very happily busy as a full time member of the fantastic Paul Harrison Band and do not intend to change that! But, I have several other live and studio projects at very stages of success, some of them still in planning, some of them having made their way into Hollywood, and most somewhere in between. I need help managing them!
