Ulf Sandström with Jump4Joy (S)
"One of the best bands in Sweden - see them live!" (Dagens Nyheter)
The piano playing of Ulf Sandström weaves a red thread through this quartets broad repertoire of boogie-woogie, soul, swing, rock'n roll and rhythm'n blues from the whereabouts of Louisiana. Bo Gustafsson handles his saxophone like a burning fuse from a Texas coalmine. Their new album Tasty! is receiving acclaim in blues, jazz and country circuits. This quartet has received standing ovations in Moscow, New Orleans, Paris, Havanna and recently Korea. Don't miss.
"True Talent" (Blues Revue, USA)
Damn! with Titiyo (S)
Soul, funk, hip hop, jazz!
"What separates Damn! from less interesting modern funkbands - albeit they have done their homework as well - is that they are capable of finding their own sound." (Dagens Skiva)
The question is if they need a closer presentation? They have pulled full houses down here during many years - always delivering a high class act.
Thorbjörn Risager Big Blues Band (DK)
The best blues singer in the north!
"Thorbjörn Risager sings like a god. He has the exactly right worn bluesvoice, with both power and strength. Denmarks best blues musician? No, rather the best blues singer in the north!". (Ulf Hjelting, Nerikes Allehanda)
"Sometimes a singers voice just stands out and forces you to listen. Take one part Ray Charles, one part Bob Seger and one part Joe Cocker and you may have the vocal instrument of Denmarks Thorbjorn Risager... Its only a matter of time before the secret is out on this guy. Bottom line: He is dynamite. Don't sleep on this one."
(Dylann DeAnna, BluesWax, USA)
Miriam Aida Trio (S)
Swedish traditions meet Brazil!
The beautiful voice of Miriam Aïda takes us to the treasure of Swedish traditional songs when she breaks new ground and combines them with the exotic music of Brazil.
An intimate setting with voice, acoustic guitar and percussion with a dynamic variation from a gentle whisper to the carnival-feeling of Rio and expressive Afro-Samba from Bahia. A never-ending possibility of colors and rhythms that assist Miriams artistic way of telling a personal story through music.
Flashback Big Band
Flashback Big Band are the pride of Lund within big band jazz. Rune Källén who lead the band has played at JazzParty on several occasion - and many of you may remember their epic concert with Etta Cameron or Svante Thuresson. Flashback Big Band will play wonderful Ballroom music for dance lovers.
Paul Harrison Band (UK, DK, ZB)
High class jazz music!
Paul Harrison is qualified in high class jazz music. The music has it roots in classical rhythmic jazz, exposed through Harrison's characteristic and energetic style of playing. With a strong melodic theme, tight arrangements and a catchy repertoire, which appeals to a very wide audience.
Paul Harrison and his band really reached over the edge of the stage last friday when they held the stage at Fodvarmeriet. An overwhelming afternoon where the tent was about to levitate on several occasions due to public acclaim of this hard working band.
Titiyo with Damn! (S)
Soulful, jazzy and entertaining musical love!
"Titiyo freaks out in fee form jazz dance and admonishes a tambourine, a cabasa, a cow bell - whatever she finds. Between songs she is an entertaining exotic bird" (Aftonbladet)
"Titiyos voice has always fitted in regardless of circumstances but this is something different. A condition between sleep and awakeness where she seems to have found calm without loosing spontaneity." (Dagens Nyheter)
Klezmofobia (DK)
A unique big city band from Denmark!
In the last ten years, Copenhagen has become the northern hub for klezmer music, a style that has its origins in the Jewish music tradition. Klezmer has seen a decided revival since the 70s, and is in rude health in Europe, USA and South America. In Copenhagen, loads of musicians, many of them young, are playing klezmer these days. A case in point is the band Klezmofobia, who call their brand of music New York Klezmer, in other words, Jewish music that has rubbed shoulders with all sorts of other music styles in the big city.
Swing al Dente
The hottest Gipsy Jazz band!
With deep respect for the music of Django Reinhardt and the Gipsy tradition of eastern europe, Swing al Dente delivers high class interpretations executed with love.
This is the hottest Gipsy Jazz band at the moment - you will agree!
