From Toots to InfinityOplev Mathias Heise Quartet, når de begiver sig ud i Toots Thielemans imponerende bagkatalog, der både rummer store hits og spændende, originale kompositioner. Toots Thielemans har sat sig massive fodspor i jazzhistorien med sin unikke håndtering af den kromatiske mundharpe. På ganske egen hånd formåede han at forene dette besynderlige instrument med bebop og moderne jazz og blev således en af jazzens helt store koryfæer og en efterspurgt studiemusiker.Mathias Heise er en prisbelønnet dansk mundharpist, der har vundet verdensmesterskabet i kromatisk jazz mundharpe og af mange bliver set som Toots’ efterfølger. På denne aften vil han i selskab med et eminent hold af musikere tage arven op fra den berømte belgier og samtidig vise, hvilke nye og spændende veje der er for dette særlige instrument. Koncerten kan opleves til Ridehuset Swinger, der igen i år danner rammerne for store musikalske oplevelser og god stemning. Ridehuset Swinger arrangeres af Aarhus Jazz Orchestra.
