Dear jazz friends!
YSJF 2023 presents a legend of the Hammond organ – Rhoda Scott
We are pleased to announce that one of the greatest ever Hammond organists, Rhoda Scott, will be performing at YSJF 2023. Discovered by Count Basie, she has played with stars such as Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles and George Benson during a long and illustrious career.
Born in New Jersey, USA, she has been based in Paris for many years. Rhoda Scott is known as “The Barefoot Lady” due to her distinctive playing style. In Ystad, she will be performing with the Polish vibraphonist Izabella Effenberg and French drummer Julie Saury.
Rhoda Scott & Sisters in Jazz 2 August 13.00 at Ystad Saltsjöbad

We will be celebrating UNESCO International Jazz Day a little in advance on 20 April with the American jazz bassist, arranger and composer Christian McBride. He will be performing in Ystad with the Bohuslän Big Band.
