Det er med slet skjult stolthed jeg kan berette, at lillesøster Bodil Brandt Jakobsen, er blevet optaget i kunst- og kunsthåndværkergruppen ACAB. Det er kun den absolutte elite der bliver inviteret med. Et stort tillykke.
Hi Kjeld I just wanted to drop you a note to say how much I enjoyed playing with you over the past week. I think it may have been the musical highlight of my year! It’s wonderful to play with someone who is so responsive and collaborative! It was like the kind of interaction I used to have with Roberta, when she was on trombone and I was on tenor, doing ensemble together. (Ensemble together … Now that’s a bit repetitive. But you know what I mean.) It was a rare treat.
I’m looking forward to playing with you again soon. Can’t wait, in fact!
As Gregg Stafford is coming back to play in Grossmans on the weekend of Friday November 20, I thought it would be good to be reminded of his awesome talent and sense of fun. Here is a youtube track from November 2004. Gregg was touring in Scandinavia with the very special "New Orleans Delight" led by clarinetist Kjeld Brandt, who kindly gave me his permission for the clip to be made available. The trombonist might look kinda familiar to you also! The song is "Last Night On The Back Porch" - a great hit from 1923 and Gregg gives it all he's got, which is quite a lot! Here is the URL to get you to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DLnBlYjEZA
Lillesøster Tove og vores svoger Bendt, har købt et yndigt lille hus på Tempelvej i Svaneke. I det nok mest pittoreske kvarter tæt på Vigehavn. Det er et helårshus som skal overtages i begyndelsen af det nye år. Vi glæder os rigtig meget til at få dem til Bornholm.
For første gang i den tid vi har boet i Svaneke, fik vi besøg af hele 2 grupper af uhyggelige Halloween monstre. Et rigtigt godt tegn for byen, der er kendt for at huse en masse velaflagte pensionister.
Fætter Nikolai's dygtige hustru - Katrin Jakobsen - har for øjeblikket en fantastisk udstilling i Hamburg der hedder "Alles wird gut". Den finder sted på Phoenix Art, Falkenberg-Sammlung og er et projekt mod børnemishandling. Udstillingen kan ses frem til januar 2010.
Her er et lille udvalg af de mange der findes på Katrin's Facebook album.
