Jazz at Konserthuset
Photo. Yanan Li
Konserthuset is one of the most prestigious and historic jazz stages in Stockholm. Everyone has performed here, from Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald to the stars of our time, such as Esperanza Spalding, Pat Metheny and Gregory Porter. Konserthuset also has its own big band, Blue House Jazz Orchestra, which is led by Peter Asplund and Magnus Lindgren.
Blue House Jazz
In our Blue House Jazz subscription, each season, listeners get to hear the greatest Swedish and international jazz musicians. Concerts in the jazz subscription are held in the Main Hall at Konserthuset, but the smaller Grünewald Hall is often used for more intimate jazz concerts.
Stockholm Jazz Festival
For many years, Konserthuset has also been one of the partners for Stockholm’s major jazz festival and many of the festival’s concerts take place at Konserthuset each autumn.
Blue House Youth Jazz Festival
Konserthuset is the principal organiser of the annual festival, which focuses on members of big bands and jazz ensembles from all of Sweden’s culture schools, upper-secondary school programs focused on the arts, folk high schools and music colleges. The grand finale of the event is the Storbands-SM (the Swedish Big Band Championships) and a jazz ensemble competition.

The phenomenal Yamandu Costa plays the Brazilian 7-string guitar and has deep roots in the country’s musical traditions.
“Yamandu is incredible, not only possibly the world’s leading guitar virtuoso in this style, but also as a musician: he entices the music out,” says Jan Lundgren. They met at the Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival in 2021, and are now performing together for the first time.
“The programme that we’ve designed reflects our roots in all directions and contains familiar songs and new compositions, based on Latin American rhythms. The subtitle, from Taube to Jobim, is in reference to the meeting between Sweden and Brazil,” explains Jan Lundgren.
In recent years, Jan Lundgren has given numerous concerts under the collective name Kind of Jazz, featuring collaborations with guest artists and ensembles. Jan Lundgren is among our foremost musicians. Through around 50 albums and numerous projects and collaborations, he has demonstrated his ability to embrace tradition while undergoing continuous renewal.

When this trio first united in 2020 for a performance at the Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival during the pandemic, Sveriges Radio was on site and recorded the concert – which was then released as a live album entitled Into the Night.
Each of these three musicians contributes their own original songs composed for this trio. “The French saxophonist Émile Parisien is like a contemporary Sidney Bechet,” says Jan Lundgren. Lars Danielsson has had a 40-year-long career, with countless collaborations and genre-crossing projects and albums – and he has also worked with Jan Lundgren on numerous occasions.
Together, all three share a desire to expand jazz expression, which makes them excellent representatives of the kind of development that has characterised European jazz for at least a few decades: boundaries are broken, and a variety of stylistic influences – including classical and folk music – are tested and transformed into a European jazz dialect. This is evident on albums by both Émile Parisien and Lars Danielsson. And in the case of Jan Lundgren, this is evident for example in the Mare Nostrum series with accordion player Richard Galliano and trumpet player Paolo Fresu.
In recent years, Jan Lundgren has given numerous concerts under the collective name Kind of Jazz, featuring collaborations with guest artists and ensembles. Jan Lundgren is among our foremost musicians. Through around 50 albums and numerous projects and collaborations, he has demonstrated his ability to embrace tradition while undergoing continuous renewal.
