S8E1. Christian Winther

On the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, from his home in the Garden District of New Orleans, Holbæk-born Danish tenor saxophonist and composer CHRISTIAN WINTHER recalls moving to "The Big Easy" in 1997 to play with and learn from some of his jazz idols. Staying true to the birthplace of American jazz and also continually innovating, Christian talks about performing on the stages of the iconic Preservation Hall and Snug Harbor, recording in New York, and traveling the world to play.----------For today's episode, Christian Winther chose P.S. Krøyer's Søstudie. Skagen, or Seascape. Skagen, from 1882 from the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark.https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/image/KMS1834 ----------Photographer: Richard Thompson----------This conversation with Tina Jøhnk Christensen occurred on July 10, 2025.----------We invite you to subscribe to Danish Originals for weekly episodes.
