Pidgin: concert at Hijazz: Photos

Last Saturday the jazz band Pidgin had a concert at Hijazz in Uppsala. The concert was arranged by Uppsala Jazz Club.



Pidgin consists of Joakim Simonsson (piano), Pär-Ola Landin (bass), Thomas Opava (percussion), Daniel Olsson (drums) and Joakim Milder (saxophone). This time Joakim Milder was replaced by Fredrik Nordström.

Pidgin plays very soft and lyrical jazz. From my point of view I also sense a touch of Swedish folk music. Most songs were composed by Joakim Simonsson.
