Montmartre Copenhagen one of these cigarette smoked wicked joints where jazz folks hang out to meet best musicians like Ben Webster, Charlie Shavers not to forget this piano player, the violin player teasing his strings, cigar but in his mouth, playing off tune and many other greats in those years -
reminds me that we had a lot of fun - terrific music.

I later had the great plesure to work with Finn Ziegler and Niels Steen at the Copenhagen jazz Festival.

Great footage ! But certainly not August 17, 1971 ! Shavers died July 8 ...

[@bennybrewer99]

Probably July 7th then

Fabulous! People who know what they are doing, going to work and having fun.

My kind of stuf. Great. Once in a lifetime. Can only happen after one shot. (No, not three)

[@tamazpatarkalashvili2811]

The great composition and the band. I'd like especially to underline besides Ben Webster and Charlie Shavers the pianist and the violinist

[@ringzy]

my man is playing the violin(in a jazz show) w a cigar in his mouth. PLEASE tell me his name

[@peterfunke7092]

Finn Ziegler

[@goudewolf]

we as the vandenBerg's always smoke a cigar (when possible and allowed) so this is the ultimate approach.
