Stockholm Swing All Stars – In The Spirit Of Duke Ellington

Duke constantly renewed and reworked his repertoire, with signature pieces such as Take the A-Train and It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing. Stockholm Swing All Stars carry Ellington’s legacy forward, irreverently at times, yet always with deep respect for the master.

With swing, skill, and an unfailing sense of style, their arrangements reveal that there are always new perspectives to explore within this classic American music. Ellington’s spirit permeates the entire program, which moves freely between Duke’s timeless classics, seldom-heard gems, and vibrant new arrangements that in various ways echo his musical world.

The band’s musicians rank among Sweden’s foremost and most beloved jazz artists. For more than two decades, ever since their early days as promising youngsters, they have gathered in Stockholm Swing All Stars, refining their understanding of jazz at its very core. Each member is a remarkable musician, but together they form something even greater: a unique ensemble that both preserves and renews the art of jazz.
