Newsletter 16 - 2023
Dear jazz friends!

ONE WEEK TO GO!
Here are some tips on festival highlights you should try not to miss!
Concert tip – Bill Charlap We are very pleased that Jan Lundgren succeeded in bringing Bill Charlap to Ystad! On the festival’s Facebook page, there is a fine post about when Bill received a Grammy with his good friend Tony Bennett, an artist who seems to have always been with us and who will be much missed. But thankfully the music goes on and we have the great honour of welcoming Bill Charlap and his trio to Ystads Teater on Thursday 3 August, 16.00. Tickets: Bill Charlap Trio – Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival (ystadjazz.se)

Concert tip – Eastwood Those who know something about Clint Eastwood will probably know that he loves and composes jazz in addition to all his work as an actor and director. And that music gene has certainly been passed on to his son Kyle. Jan Lundgren saw Kyle perform and was impressed – and soon after booked him and his quintet to play in Ystad! It will be a swinging conclusion to the second day of the festival at Ystads Teater on Thursday 3 August, 21.00. Tickets: Kyle Eastwood Quintet “Eastwood by Eastwood” – Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival (ystadjazz.se)

Concert tip – Marcin Wasilewski We know from his previous performances at the festival that pianist Marcin Wasilewski’s sensitive playing style leaves a lasting impression on his audiences. At this year’s festival, he will present a tribute to the Polish pianist and film music composer Krzysztof Komeda, whose movie scores include Rosemary´s Baby. Marcin will be bringing some fabulous musicians to Ystad: Sławomir Kurkiewicz (bass), Michał Miśkiewicz (drums), Tomasz Dąbrowski (trumpet) and not least Joakim Milder (tenor sax). See the all-star line-up at Ystads Teater on Friday 4 August, 16.00. Tickets: Marcin Wasilewski All Stars “A tribute to Krzysztof Komeda” – Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival (ystadjazz.se)
