Alright! Tomorrow evening we kick off our spring tour with the band Jerry the Cupboard, led by reedplayer Thomas Backman.
Jerry the Cupboard
We’re playing compositions of Thomas, and the small setting of the band really opens the music up in a nice way.
The gig takes place tomorrow at Sweden’s most intimate jazz club Glenn Miller Café (well worth a visit!) in Stockholm. We begin at 8pm.
I’m very excited about this gig, it’s a really nice band to play with and because of my session in Vienna we haven’t played a gig for over a year. It’s also a fun band because it stands out a little against what I normally do, which is great. I always like to fight a little against the labels that always seems to be put on you, whether you want it or not.
Very welcome, we’re looking forward to see you there!
Jerry the Cupboard is:
Thomas Backman – alto saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet & baritone saxophone, Jens Filipsson – alto saxophone & baritone saxophone, Clas Lassbo – accoustic bass, Calle Rasmusson – drums.
