Dear Jazz Friends!
The festival is only five weeks away!
There have been a few changes and additions to the programme, see the updates below.
Kevin Eubanks, a member of Kismet, has health problems and will be unable to tour for the rest of the year. Kismet will therefore perform at the festival as a trio with Dave Holland, Chris Potter and Marcus Gilmore. We wish Kevin Eubanks a speedy recovery!

Affectum is a young band that has just won the ImagineDalarna competition. As winners, they get the opportunity to perform on the Next Jazz Generation stage at Bäckahästen on 1 August at 12.30. Free admission. The jury stated: “With talented instrumentalists who show both technical brilliance and musical feeling, this entry delivers a strong overall impression that is striking. The original arrangements give the music a clear identity in which every detail feels well-thought-through and well placed. The fine dynamics lift the performance even more, with a variation and sensitivity that keeps the listener captivated from start to finish.” The Affectum line-up is: Katarina Jacobson – vocals, Isak Vinsander – piano, Selma Cedervall – bass and William Min Henriksson – drums.
