Jacob Karlzon & Viktoria Tolstoy (SE) at Musikhuset København

The vocalist Viktoria Tolstoy is the great melodramatist of jazz. After a performance, Pat Metheny once said to her, "When you sing, the sun rises." Like no other, she can make happiness sound fragile and threatened, and transform bitter things into something magical and beautiful. Jazz pianist Jacob Karlzon thrives on the in-between tones, the transitions, the ambiguous — whether inspired by classics like Grieg or hard rockers like KoRn. He has been Tolstoy's accompanist for over 20 years and will likely remain so. Despite his success in his own name, including highly acclaimed trio recordings on Warner Jazz, their musical partnership endures. Tolstoy & Karlzon form an intimate duo, entirely focused on their longstanding musical collaboration. After various international tours with larger line-ups, they will perform as a duo at the beautiful venue of Musikhuset København - providing the audience with an intimate and intense concert....

Jacob Karlzon & Viktoria Tolstoy er nogle af den svenske jazzscenes største navne. Viktoria Tolstoy er en svensk/russisk jazzvokalist, som anmelderne har beskrevet som “jazzens store melodramatiker. En musiker, der som ingen anden kan få lykken til at lyde skrøbelig og bitre ting til at lyde magiske og smukke. Hun har konceptuelt indrammet og perfektioneret denne kunst!” Jacob Karlzon er jazzpianist, hvis spil trives i mellemtonerne, overgangene, det tvetydige - uanset om han er inspireret af klassikere som Grieg eller hard rockere som KoRn. Han har været Tolstojs akkompagnatør i mere end 20 år, og det bliver han nok ved med, selv om han for længst har fået succes i eget navn blandt andet med sine trioindspilninger på Warner Music. Efter flere internationale turnéer, hvor de har optrådt med deres egne større besætninger, kan I nu opleve dem som i Musikhusets skønne festsal som duo - intimt, intenst og fuld af magi.
