Dear jazz friends!

TWO WEEKS TO GO!
Jazz week is approaching, but things are already starting to happen next week!
Invitation to exhibition preview
This year’s jazz artist Karl Valve is exhibiting at Gallery M1 (Hotell Continental du Sud) during the festival. But next week you are welcome to the opening of the exhibition and the preview of works such as “Reflections of Jazz”. Wednesday 26 July, 17.00-20.00. Free admission.

Concert tip – “Trazan” This year, the festival gave Pelle “Trazan” Jonasson a dream project: put together a dream team of artists to play at this year’s festival! No sooner said than done. “Trazan’s” international band features bassist John Goldsby (US/DE), vocalist Joanna Pascale (US), pianist Olaf Polziehn (DE), alto saxophonist Johan Hörlén (SE/DE) and not least “Trazan” himself on drums. What an exciting prospect it is to hear the band at Ystad Saltsjöbad on Friday 4 August, 13.00 Tickets: Pelle “Trazan” Jonasson, John Goldsby, Joanna Pascale, Olaf Polziehn, Johan Hörlén – Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival (ystadjazz.se)

Concert tip – Marilyn And while we are on the subject of drummers… the force of nature that is percussionist Marilyn Mazur will be playing at Ystads Teater on Saturday 5 August, 12.00. Within her project, Marilyn Mazur´s Shamania, she has put together a strong line-up of female musicians: Makiko Hirabayashi (DK) piano and keyboards, Lisbeth Diers (DK) congas and percussion, Lis Wessberg (DK) trombone, Josefine Cronholm vocals, Lotte Anker (DK) saxophones, Ida Gormsen (DK) bass and Hildegunn Øiseth (NO) trumpet and goat horn. Hold on to your hat!

Concert tip – Mats Öberg Those in Sweden who have followed music for a while will be very familiar with the Mats/Morgan Band and the powerful swinging style of pianist Mats Öberg. Blind since birth, he began listening to Miles Davies at a very early age and went on to play with Frank Zappa, Fläskkvartetten, Jonas Knutsson, Ale Möller and many other well-known musicians. At Ystad Saltsjöbad on 5 August, 14.00, Mats will be swinging in a funky, jazzy, Povel Ramel-inspired concert with singers Signe & Hjördis, keyboard player Dan Bornemark and drummer Michael Pettersson. Tickets: Signe & Hjördis with Mats Öberg Trio “Jazz, Funk & Povel” – Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival (ystadjazz.se)
