Limited edition CD kiadvány, 2021-es album.
Alvin Queen arrived on the scene in the late 1960s, and quickly became known as the drummer for jazz icons including Horace Silver, Randy and Michael Brecker, George Benson, Tom Harrell, and many others… Even with this astounding resumé, Queen is still perhaps best known as the longtime rhythmic anchor in the Oscar Peterson Trio. With Alvin’s arrival in the band, the pianist’s playing reached new heights, and Queen remained in the group until Peterson’s passing in 2007. Although his drumming style is uniquely personal, it contains clear traces of inuence from Elvin Jones – who was Queen’s mentor from the age of 11. The junior drummer’s broad, authentic mastery of a vast range of jazz styles and vocabularies would grow to extend even beyond that of Elvin, placing him in a league with the likes of Philly Joe Jones, Max Roach, and Art Blakey.
On his new album, „NIGHT TRAIN TO COPENHAGEN” (produced by the Danish pianist Niels Lan Doky), Queen chose two young and extraordinary musicians – Sweden’s Calle Brickman on piano and the Danish bassist Tobias Dall. Both impressed the drummer with their developed, versatile voices, and are two shining examples of the strength found in a younger generation of jazz musicians on the present-day Copenhagen scene.
