Back In 1996, two Scandinavian pianists met outside one of the hallowed halls in New Orleans, the club Tipitinas. Esben Just from denmark and Tor Einar Bekken from norway had, through the years, built up a deep and, -  it shows here + 20 years later, - a lasting love for "everything New Orleans" and now they meet again, this time on Danish soil, more specifically called Mojo Copenhagen K.

Here they will compete against each other, fighting to be the most original, best swinging and sharpest shooter when it comes to hitting the audience right in the heart with the New Orleans sound and swing that they both value so infinitely. Esben Just has the home field advantage while Tor Einar aka Dr Bekken is ahead on points as he has been nominated for the prestigious Norwegian "Spellemansprisen" and received the Notoden blues festival's honorary award.

It will be an evening at Mojo where the music and the piano will take center stage, while the two "competants" will try to win the audience over, if not to their side, then at least to an excitement and cheer about "all things New Orleans"

“ I ´96 mødtes to skandinaviske pianister uden for en af de hellige haller i New Orleans, nemlig klubben Tipitinas. Esben Just DK og Tor Einar Bekken N havde begge på det tidspunkt oparbejdet en dyb og viser det sig her + 20 år senere, vedvarende kærlighed for “everything New Orleans” og nu mødes de igen, denne gang dog på dansk jord, nærmere betegnet Mojo KBH K.

Der vil de blære sig overfor hinanden, batle om at være den mest originale, bedst swingende og skarpest skydende når det kommer til at ramme publikum lige i hjertekulen med den New Orleans sound og swing som de begge sætter så uendelig højt. Esben Just har hjemmebane fordelen mens Tor Einar aka Dr Bekken er foran på point idet han har været nomineret til den pestigefyldte Norske “Spellemansprisen” og modtaget Notodens bluesfestivals hæderpris.

Det bliver en aften på Mojo hvor musikken og pianoet vil stå i centrum, mens de to “kombetanter” vil forsøge at vinde publikum over, om ikke til egen side, så ihverfald til en begejstring og jubel over “ all things New Orleans” “
