Arne
“Papa” Bue Jensen (8 May 1930 – 2 November 2011), known as Papa Bue,
was a Danish trombonist and bandleader, chiefly associated with the
Dixieland jazz revival style of which he was considered an important
proponent. He founded and led the Viking Jazz Band, which was active
from 1956. Arne Bue Jensen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. At an early
age, he became fascinated with jazz, prompted by a pile of records from
his brother with artists such as Harry James, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey,
Glenn Miller and Bert Ambrose. Some records by Bunk Johnson and George
Lewis reviving the New Orleans musical made a particular impression.
After World War II, Jensen became a sailor for a few years, visiting
ports all around the world, where he had an opportunity to listen to
enjoy their often lively music venues. It was around this time that he
started to play jazz. For borrowed money, which it would take him years
to repay, he bought a slide trombone. He was taught the seven basic
positions of the slide by a musician from the Royal Danish Orchestra but
apart from that he was self-taught. Soon he played with other young
jazz musicians and performed in clubs and bars around Copenhagen. He
played in bands such as the Royal Jazzman (later the Bohana Jazz Band),
Henrik Johansen’s Jazz Band and the Saint Peter Street Stompers,
participating as a sideman in several of their recordings. In the 1950s,
Papa Bue worked with the Bonanza Jazz Band, Chris Barber, Adrian
Bentzon and Henrik Johansen. In the mid 1950s, he was part of the
musical environment of the entertainment district around Nyhavn. He
jammed with other young jazz musicians in various informal arrangements
and, along with six other musicians, he founded the New Orleans Jazz
Band in 1956, after a jam session in the establishment ‘Cap Horn’. Since
Jensen was the eldest he became the bandleader and, as he was also the
only band member who was a father, he was given the nickname “Papa Bue”
which stuck. In late 1957, Jensen renamed the ensemble the Viking Jazz
Band. The name came from the American journalist and vocalist Shel
Silverstein who attended one of their concerts at Cap Horn during a stay
in Copenhagen. He subsequently wrote an article about them, calling
them the Danish Vikings, explaining that they played the original New
Orleans and Chicago jazz even better than any American band at the time.
The band adopted the new name and released their first album as the
Viking Jazz Band in 1958. In 1960 their “Schlafe Mein Prinzchen” sold
over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. At a time when
many jazz musicians worked in the Bebop idiom, his style remained based
on the Dixieland tradition but also with influences from early swing
music. He is considered one of the most significant proponents of his
genre. The group remained active into the 1990s, and recorded with
musicians such as George Lewis (1959), Champion Jack Dupree (1962), Art
Hodes (1970), Wild Bill Davison (1970, 1974), Wingy Manone, Edmond Hall
and Albert Nicholas. They also played with George Lewis, Earl Hines,
Stuff Smith, Ben Webster. Wild Bill Davison was a permanent band member.
Jensen released a large number of albums, many of them issued or
reissued on Storyville Records, Timeless Records, and Music Mecca. It
was Papa Bue’s Viking Jazz Band which recorded Bent Fabricius-Bjerre’s
theme music for the Olsen Gang series, now a legendary sequence for the
Danes. In 1969, Papa Bue’s Viking Jazz Band was the only non-American
band to participate in the New Orleans Jazz Festival and Jensen was
honored with the “Golden Keys to the City”. Papa Bue died on 2 November
2011, at the age of 81.
