Jan Lundgren/Ulf Wakenius Quartet

Jazz i Helsingborg presents A Tribute to Oscar and Duke. Join us for an evening that combines tradition, exploration, and transformation through music by Duke Ellington and Oscar Peterson, featuring the talented pianist Jan Lundgren alongside three other highly accomplished musicians.

🎹 Jan Lundgren is one of our foremost musicians, showcasing his ability to embrace tradition while continuously innovating through approximately 50 CDs and numerous projects and collaborations.

🎸 Ulf Wakenius, who was a member of Oscar Peterson's last quartet, brings his exceptional guitar skills.

🎶 Hans Backenroth, renowned bassist, has performed with nearly the entire jazz elite in Sweden and internationally.

🥁 Kristian Leth, one of Denmark's foremost and most sought-after drummers, has collaborated frequently with Lundgren and Backenroth. Kristian has recorded and produced seven albums with Scott Hamilton, the latest being Looking Back, released last autumn.
