Last month,  a spectacular new venue opened in Copenhagen, Denmark called THE STANDARD containing 3 restaurants, 2 bars and an intimate world class jazz club. The co-founders are two of Denmark’s most prominent personalities, CLAUS MEYER (founding father of the Nordic Cuisine movement and co-owner of “noma”, World’s Best Restaurant 2010-2012) and NIELS LAN DOKY (Danish jazz legend and internationally acclaimed pianist and producer). The reactions from music audiences as well as restaurant guests so far has been tremendous  - and to add yet another layer to the excitement, the online channel THE STANDARD LIVE TV was launched recently with programs produced as full scale multi-camera productions in HD.

The next program will be aired live on THURSDAY NOVEMBER 28TH AT 8 PM (20:00) CET
and will be available as Video-On-Demand soon after the live stream. The program will be a live broadcast of a project called “STANDING ON SHOULDERS” – featuring ALBERT “TOOTIE” HEATH (drums) with  BENJAMIN KOPPEL (alto sax) & MATTIAS SVENSSON (bass)

The carreer of the legendary American drummer ALBERT “TOOTIE” HEATH spans collaborations with the most significant icons in jazz history, including Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins and Nina Simone to name but a few. Tootie is today at the top of his game, as inspiring and creative as ever. In the documentary film Between a Smile and a Tear, he elaborates on the old African proverb “Those who stand on the shoulders of their ancestors, stand tallest” which inspired this project,  where the participating musicians will revisit the repertoire from a famous bootleg record that Tootie recorded in Copenhagen in 1968 with Sonny Rollins and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. Joining Tootie on stage this time around are two of Scandinavia’s most prolific jazz arrtists of the post-Rollings/post NHØP generation, Danish alto saxophonist BENJAMIN KOPPEL and Swedish bassist MATTIAS SVENSSON.
