Enjoyed the rehearsal yesterday with fabulous musicians, perparing the Jan Johansson tribute on Saturday, at Berwaldhallen.
I'm going to be a part of the piece "Ljus tungt som bly".
Musical directors are Georg Riedel and Lennart Åberg.

For more than 30 years, the legendary “Radiojazzgruppen” assembled the Swedish jazz elite, recorded dozens of albums and worked with the world’s leading musicians and composers. Among the many prominent musicians were Lennart Åberg and Georg Riedel who, for this first Baltic Sea Festival jazz concert, have gathered both old and new stars on the jazz firmament.

Participants are:
Big band and jazz ensembles
Lennart Åberg, musical direction, saxophone
Georg Riedel, musical direction, base
Rita Macrotulli, piano
Hannah Holgersson, soprano
Amanda Sedgwick, saxophone
Magnus Lindgren, saxophone and flute
Jan Allan, trumpet
Mats Bergström, guitar
