Palladium at Grand: Concert photos

Last Saturday, the big band Palladium played at Grand Swing Night in Uppsala at a dance arranged by Swingkatten. The band plays swing but is also very influenced by jump blues.



It was a very good night and I had fun dancing both lindy and balboa. A few couples also danced foxtrot. Folks, remember that foxtrot can be a good dance to do if a really fast song comes along and you don't want to lindy hop to it but you don't know balboa. Foxtrot is also great for slow songs.



When I took a small break to cool down I photographed the band and the dancers (surprise! not.). I know people see me photograph a lot and wonder where the pictures all end up. Well, some of them make it to this blog and some of them I send directly to the people in them. If you think you might have been in front of my camera lens, send me an email and ask me. I'm still looking for a good way to share more photos.

I'm also selling and licencing my photographs, I might have the picture for you in my archive.

If you like my style you can hire me for a photo shoot. Although I mostly show jazz concert pictures here, I photograph all kinds of things, but I prefer to photograph people.



The photos are taken by me and may not be published elsewhere without my permission. Contact me if you want to license them.

Palladium plays at Grand Swing Party

On Saturday Feb 23rd the big band Palladium here from Uppsala will play at Grand Swing Party.

Grand Swing Party is Swingkatten's big swing dance nights at Grand that we have about 6 times a year. We always try to have a live band.

Palladium played for us last time at Kulturnatten (The Culture Night) in September last year and it's good to have them back.

The photo above shows the band leader of Palladium, Mikael Jansson.

So come and dance on Saturday at Grand. It starts at 20 with a dj, the band starts at 21 and plays until midnight then you can hear me djing the late shift after the band until it's time to say "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here".

The price is 80 kr. I'll see you on Saturday!

Måndagsgruppen at Grönvallsalen: Photos

Yesterday Måndagsgruppen played at Grönvallsalen. They played swing, bebop and mainstream jazz, just as adverticed. They played the swinging "Don't get around much anymore" and on the bebop side the played a couple of songs of the brothers Nat Adderley and Cannonball Adderley.

Måndagsgruppen consists of Bosse Broberg (trumpet), Sture Lundén (trombone), Ulf Lindsjö and Lars-Olof Naessén (saxophone), Håkan Hedstrand (piano), Curt Andersson (bass), Richard Johnsson (drums) and Mikael Jansson (song).


Måndagsgruppen translates into "The Monday group" because they practise on Mondays. I wish they had had a little more imagination when coming up with a band name.

The concert experience usually become even better when you share it with someone and this time I couldn't have asked for a better company.
