What a concert there will be tomorrow at Uppsala Konsert & Kongress! The fantastic harmonica player Toots Thielemans is coming to town and he is backed up by the elite of Swedish jazz musicians.

The musicians are Ulf Johansson Werre, Claes Crona, Vivian Buczek, Jörgen Smeby, Petur Island Östlund, Viktoria Tolstoy, Ulf Wakenius, Peter Asplund and Andreas Öberg.

If you have the opportunity you should really attend the concert that starts at 17. The tickets cost 325 kr.

Here is a video clip of Toots Thielemans playing Bye Bye Blackbird.

Yesterday singer Vivian Buczek and the Claes Crona Trio featuring Johan Hörlen (saxophone) played at a concert at Katalin and all that jazz. The concert was arranged by Uppsala Jazz Club.

The Claes Crona Trio consists of Claes Crona (piano), Jörgen Smeby (bass) och Petur ”Island” Östlund (drums).

Some examples of what they played: "To Close For Comfort", "Bluesette", the standard written by Toots Thielemans and Love For Sale (by Cole Porter). They also played a song with latin influences from Vivian Buczeks coming album "Straight from my heart".
