Alex turned 70

On September 13th 2010 it was 70 years since Alex Riel came into this world. To mark and celebrate the drummer’s lifelong dedication and contribution to Danish and international music – jazz music in particular - the reopened Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen decided to feature Alex in the days leading up to his birthday.

These celebrations took place from September 5th to September 12th and included various musical configurations with Danish artists and international guests: jazz/rock fusion, piano trio, vocal jazz, a jazz quartet, and a special drum/percussion feature.
