Crescent City Jazz at Uppsala Konsert & Kongress Opening

Crescent City Jazz was another nice surprise at Uppsala Konsert & Kongress yesterday. They play New Orleans Jazz, both standards and their own tunes in that style. I first saw Crescent City Jazz in March at a concert at Stabbygården.

Since a company called Nymansbolagen used to make bicycles called Cresent, the band will play tomorrow at a party arranged by a organisation consisting of people who used to work there.

Crescent City Jazz concert

Crescent City Jazz is a trad jazz band from Uppsala and they had a concert yesterday at Stabbygården.

They played, among other songs: When You're Smiling, Royal Garden Blues, Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone and Jelly Roll Blues. They also played some of Gunnar Ekbohms own compositions.

Crescent City Jazz consists of: Gunnar Ekbohm (clarinet), Arne Andersson (cornett), P-O Östergren (trombone), Göran Carenbäck (tuba) and Jörgen Berlin (banjo).

About the name of the band: Crescent City is another name for New Orleans where much of the music they play originated. The name also plays with words in another way: until 1960 Uppsala was the town is Sweden which manufactured the most bicycles in the land and one brand was called Crescent.
