Konserthuset Stockholm's Blue House Jazz All Stars, featuring Peter Asplund and Magnus Lindgren, welcomes back global artist John Beasley for a unique concert showcasing internationally renowned musicians from several continents. Expect the unexpected when they come on stage together with Tunisian Oud and vocalist Dhafer Yousef, Brazilian drummer Kiko Frietas, soul and jazz diva China Moses and Italian-American bassist John Patitucci for an intercultural musical experience. This act of musical collaboration hopes to show the power of music to diminish borders.
Grammy winning recording bassist John Patitucci has been at the forefront of the jazz world performing with living legends Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. China Moses has a long career as a singer as well as a presenter for MTV France. She tours as a solo artist and has worked for Meshell Ndegeocello and DJ Mehdi.
Kiko Frietas was born into a family of musicians, poets and artists and grew up learning and drumming with the who’s who of Brazilian and world music, including Ivan Lins, Milton Nascimento, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Michel Legrand.
Dhafer Yousef discovered the echo of his voice and its resonances at an early age, then in his youth he picked up an Oud and his career as a musician became extraordinary. He is a recording artist and can also be heard in movie soundtracks.
Much of the music for Jazz Across Continents is arranged by versatile composer-arranger-pianist John Beasley who seeks to create musical bridges sparking cultural collaboration and creating joy in the process. Beasley is known for his work with Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard and as Music Director for the Thelonious Monk Institute’s International Jazz Day global concerts.
Magnus Lindgren, renowned saxophonist, flutist, composer and arranger, has released ten albums; the latest being Stockholm Underground, focusing on the jazz flute. Trumpet player and singer Peter Asplund has released eight albums and as a widely sought-after musician apperad on countless more.

She discovered her voice and moved to France to study classical singing with a focus on Baroque at the Darius Milhaud Conservatory in Aix-en-Provence. In France she became immersed in jazz, and in 2009 she released her debut album Cécile with the Jean-François Bonnel Paris Quintet.
She is a two-time Grammy winner in the coveted categories of Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2016 for her third album For One To Love, and most recently in 2018 for her fourth album, Dreams and Daggers. Her second album, WomanChild from 2014, was nominated for a Grammy.
