Tommy Körberg and many more

The Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival 2024 concludes with a festive concert in a castle setting as we enter the world of Duke Ellington with three prominent jazz singers, an internationally renowned pianist with local ties, and a powerful big band.

Duke Ellington (1899–1974) is one of the leading figures in jazz history and big band jazz. He led his orchestra for over five decades and created music that has become immortal. "It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)," "Sophisticated Lady," "Don’t Get Around Much Anymore," and "Satin Doll" are just a few gems in a musical treasure trove of a couple of thousand titles and several longer works.

Singer and actor Tommy Körberg is one of Sweden’s most prominent and versatile artists. In 1969, he made his debut in Melodifestivalen and won with "Judy min vän." In the 1980s, he established himself as a musical theater star with leading roles in "Les Misérables" and "Chess," among others.

Rigmor Gustafsson is a multiple award-winning jazz singer and composer. She has released ten albums under her own name, the latest being "Come Home" (2019), which Orkester-Journalen’s Mats Hallberg described as "a hit that should also appeal to fans of related genres."

Margareta Bengtson is a singer and harpist, previously an original member of The Real Group. She sang with the famous a cappella group from 1984 to 2006 and then began a successful solo career.

The internationally renowned pianist with local ties refers to the festival’s artistic director, Jan Lundgren, who, like Duke Ellington, is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music.

Bohuslän Big Band is a modern big band exploring jazz from swing to avant-garde and other genres. The orchestra regularly collaborates with prominent Swedish and international artists.
