Off course there is always a pleasure to play new music and be part of someone’s band! Someone has been working a lot to write, arrange and think about the form, the sound, the melodies and the shape of the music. Yesterday we had the pleasure to rehearse and to play and hear Philip’s music […]

It is amazing to be part of a jazz band! You listen, and you hear individual voices around you. You listen and you hear new things every time you play. Even every time you play the same song. When the musicians listen, hear and react, there will be music! As I wrote before, I love […]

Jag har spelat på deras munstycken senaste fyra åren och varit otroligt nöjd! Bra välgjorda munstycken med bra respons. Utan att har för mycket karaktär känns det som att de projicerar […]

Concerts in small places on the countryside, and gigs on festivals together with Håkan Broströms New Places Orchestra, and I played with Mats Holmqvist Stora Stygga celebrating Polar Prize Winner Wayne […]
