You can enjoy big band jazz in Ystad in the spring:
Christian McBride & Bohuslän Big Band

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.
Christian McBride, born in 1972, has played with and arranged for Herbie Hancock, Ray Brown, Isaac Hayes, Chaka Khan, James Brown, Sting, Paul McCartney, Celine Dion, The Roots and Billie Eilish, so you can understand that we are overjoyed that he will be playing in Ystad!
