Rémi Toulon at Uppsala Winter Swing

Rémi Toulon, a jazz pianist from France, played in the John Högman International Group at Uppsala Winter Swing.

With a combination of skill and luck I had the fortune to have front row seats at both their sets. Watching them was really a treat because this, I think, is jazz at its best. Talented musicians that communicate so well with eachother, trading ideas and really listening to eachother. A clever and witty conversation set to music. It swung!

In the group were also: Laurence Allison (song), Ulf Johansson Werre (trombone), Thomas Arnesen (guitar), Martin Sjöstedt (bass) and Calle Rasmusson (drums).
