Don McGlynn’s multi-faceted documentary probes many aspects of Thigpen’s life as a musician, teacher, historian and world traveler. Fellow musicians Horace Parlan, Billy Taylor, Carsten Dahl, Tomas Frank and others explain why Thigpen, who has lived in Copenhagen for the past 37 years, is so respected by musicians and loved by jazz fans all over the world.

It has been a tremendous season for DR Big Band, which has given some wonderful musical moments and exciting musical constellations.

Saturday March 28th DR Big Band is inviting you to a closing party in the DR Concert Hall (Studio 2) - It will be a celebration without equal, where past years are celebrated with draft beer and a fantastic lineup of: Ray Pitts, Ed Thigpen, Cæcilie Norby, Sinne Eeg, Jimmy Jørgensen , and DR Szhirley Girl Choir.

The concert will be a tour de force into the many musical highlights that the DR Big band has marked in the past year of jazz. It will also be a celebration for the loyal audience, guest soloists and the Big band itself. In other words, there will be no backstage that night when Big Band celebrates with the audience - and you are hereby invited

Tickets can also be purchased at the DR Shop 3520 6262

Like the rest of the world, I witnessed a historic and emotional event this tuesday.
So much history, so much human potential concentrated in one day. I slept good that night, I had a dream too.
