Vi havde også en udsolgt koncert på det nye Musikhus København under Jazzfestivalen. Vores seneste CD, “Back2Basics” (Stunt), blev kåret til “Årets Udgivelse 2021” af Jazz Special. Den indeholder kendte standards og originals af kapelmesteren, som vi også opfører live.

My jazz trio with Thomas Fonnesbæk on bass and Karsten Bagge on drums is back on stage. We’ve performed at Winter Jazz in Copenhagen and at Trekroner Church near Roskilde. Soon, we’ll be posting videos from the concert on YouTube. In 2023, we played in Singapore with the SSO (Singapore Symphony Orchestra), recording Claus Ogerman’s “Symbiosis” and Palle Mikkelborg’s “Bill Evans Suite.” We also had a sold-out concert at the new Musikhus Copenhagen during the Jazz Festival. Our latest CD, “Back2Basics” (Stunt), was named “Release of the Year 2021” by Jazz Special. It features well-known standards and original compositions by the bandleader, which we also perform live.
Back2Basic er blevet valgt til årets cd i Jazz Special. Her et par uddrag af anmeldelserne: Peter H. Larsen “Det myldrer af begavet liv både i og under Clausens underskov af sammensparet musikalsk erfaring, den rytmiske fremdrift er uimodståelig. Fyndigt autoritativt i alle tempi og i enhver detalje.” Politiken 5 hjerter Henrik Palle “Thomas Clausen … Back2Basics er årets CD
Det er med stor glæde vi kan fortælle at “Så Tag Mit Hjerte” er kommet med i den helt nye udgave af “Højskolesangbogen”
