ANDERS KOPPEL MADS MICHELSEN STEENRASMUSSEN NYE EVENTYR
"This band celebrates Anders' over 60-year musical journey with his legendary
Hammond B3 organ.
From the start with Savage Rose and Dødens Triumf, through the 40-year collaboration with Bazaar, numerous projects with his son Benjamin,
and in recent years as duo with cellist Henrik Dam Thomsen
Tonight the curtain goes up for a new constellation that has already been called the successor to Bazaar. It is the band, New Adventures, which Anders has formed together with his old friend keyboard virtuoso Steen Rasmussen who has considerable international success with his Quinteto and Milton på Svenska med Josefine Cronholm, and who also has played for many years together with Anders' daughter Marie Carmen Koppel.
The trio is completed by percussionist Mads Michelsen who has played with major Danish names like Gnags, Lis Sørensen and many others.
The repertoire consists of a mix of Anders' music from all periods interspersed by Steens compotisions - everything held together by telepathic improvisations. The music is strongly swinging, airy, moving - yes, New Adventures ."
