Stockholm Swing All Stars – Play the Jazz Hits

Date & Time

Sun, Sep 1, 2024, 19:00

Venue

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)

The coolest, most swinging, absolute best jazz songs from the past and in brand new arrangements, composed by and for the band. Some of these hits will resemble the originals – but Fly Me to the Moon may be presented as a ballad, and Summertime might be played as a lightning-fast bebop tune. So don’t count on things being just what you would expect, because that isn’t going to happen.Jazz hits form the foundation of this concert, but there are... Read full text

Stockholm Jazz Festival – A tribute to Georg Riedel

Fri, Oct 11, 2024, 19:30

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)

Sarah Riedel (Vocals), Channa Riedel (Vocals), Nicolai Dunger (Vocals), Carl Bagge (Leader), Carl Bagge (Piano), Patrik Skogh (Trumpet), Nils Janson (Trumpet), Tobias Wiklund (Trumpet), Emil Strandberg (Trumpet), Agnes Darelid (Trombone), Staffan Findin (Trombone), Mats Äleklint (Trombone), Lisa Bodelius (Trombone), Per ”Ruskträsk” Johansson (Saxophon), Fredrik Ljungkvist (Saxophon), Nils Berg (Saxophon), Jonas Kullhammar (Saxophon), Fredrik Lindborg (Saxophon), Viktor Skokic (Bass), Konrad Agnas (Drums), Mats Bergström (Guitar), Nils Landgren (Compère)

Welcome to a star-studded and poignant tribute to Georg Riedel, one of the greatest musicians and composers of Swedish jazz. Radiojazzgruppen’s Nisse Landgren hosts the evening and pianist Calle Bagge conducts a house band featuring elite members of the Swedish jazz scene, as well as vocalists including Nicolai Dunger and Sarah Riedel.With the passing on 25 February this year of jazz bassist, composer and arranger Georg Riedel at 90 years of age, one of the most versatile composers of Swedish music fell silent.Georg Riedel composed music for Astrid Lindgren’s films, as well as innovative jazz for Radiojazzgruppen and his own duos, trios and quartets. His oeuvre includes opera, orchestral works and music for films, ballet and church services. He is among the musicians who brought Swedish folk music to jazz stages. Jazz på Svenska (“Jazz in Swedish”), his album with Jan Johansson, is the most sold Swedish jazz album.To celebrate this doyen of jazz, Stockholm Jazz Festival presents a full evening at Stockholm Konserthuset, in which a wide selection of Riedel’s compositions will be performed by carefully selected artists – many of whom worked with the man himself over the past 20 years. This retrospective of Riedel’s work will link the golden age of the 1950s to contemporary jazz of the 2020s.“Georg Riedel’s contribution is utterly massive, and so is the empty space he has left behind. But his music will live on, now and forever. It therefore feels particularly gratifying to open this year’s jazz festival with an evening that pays tribute to him,” says Eric Birath, CEO of Stockholm Jazz Festival.Read more about Stockholm Jazz Festival (opens in a new window)

The Swingin’ Hermlins and Swing Dance Orchestra

Sat, Apr 20, 2024, 20:00

Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

The Swingin’ Hermlins, Swing Dance Orchestra, Rachel Hermlin (Vocals), David Hermlin (Drums), Andrej Hermlin (Director), sowie als Gast: der Klarinettist Lorenzo Baldasso

Andrej Hermlin and the Swing Dance Orchestra have dedicated themselves to the music of the golden 20s and 30s. Dressed in appropriate suits and without any electronic tricks, their concerts exude the charm and glamour of times past: from the birth of swing music in Harlem and American Christmas tunes to the classics of Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller. Andrej Hermlin has fulfilled a long-held dream and recreates one of the great moments of jazz history: together with his Swing Dance Orchestra he plays exactly the concert with which jazz icon Benny Goodman took Carnegie Hall by storm in 1938.

JazzKLUB / “Laborka”, or the showpiece of jazz Krakow

Tue, Jun 3, 2025, 19:30

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

Janusz Grzywacz (Keyboards), Janusz Grzywacz (Vocoder), Marek Stryszowski (Alto saxophone), Marek Stryszowski (Soprano saxophone), Marek Stryszowski (EWI), Marek Stryszowski (Vocals), Krzysztof Ścierański (Bass guitar), Marcin Ścierański (Drums), Marek Raduli (Guitar)

This band has more than half a century of history if we don't count the break of a dozen years arranged by Janusz Grzywacz and Marek Stryszowski at the turn of the century. They debuted in 1971 at Gitariada '71, a festival they organised in Nowa Huta, Krakow, which introduced fusion and jazz-rock elements to the Polish scene. Over the years, they have developed their style, which has been compared to that of the American group Weather Report, consisting, especially in the early period, of experimenting with instrumentation and combining different types of sound. Laborka ("Lab"), as they are colloquially called, is undoubtedly a showpiece of jazz Krakow and, simultaneously, a top spot on the list of Polish bands of all time. Maria Wilczek-Krupa Concert duration: approximately 90 minutes
