At this time one year ago, everything was just rockin'. I had made a small tour with Trinity earlier in the week. Over the weekend I went to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday by throwing him a party, bring the B3 and play some of his favorite organ tunes. the week after the was a…

On the day before Valentine's day, the theme has to be love. So I got to play some of my favorite love songs. Also a tribute to Chick Corea, who sadly passed away this week.

After 2 weeks on the XK5 it was nice being back at the B3. Celebrating Joe Sample and Joshua Redan, as well as playing a few tunes from "Groundhog day" and some Swedish 60s schlager .

Another stream at the XK5 classic! This one a littre more rockish than the previous. Also feeling a little nostalgic that it was one year ago I could play with my trio so I included a couple of my own songs as well.

It's nice to change things up once in a while. I've had my XK5 classic for almost a year now and have been playing it quite a few gigs (well, given the corona situation...). Also. this week is NAMM week and it was after last year's exhibition that I got the XK5. So, a lot…

It's been an interesting week preparing for this stream! Got a lot of requests for songs that I haven't heard or played so a lot of new stuff to digest. The result, as usual, is a quite diverse set of songs, including both jazz, soul and Elton John! Speaking of the latter, playing "Funeral for…

What a week it has been! It sure was a relief to just sitt down at hte Hammond, play Elvis songs and others and just hang out with the wonderful audince.

Finally we get to celebrate the end of 2020. A year that I think we all have wished would be over. This stream is all about the party which is reflected in the set list. Party jazz and nothing else. Cheers and Happy new year!

No doubt about it, this Christmas was special. I usually celebrate with my father, who lives nearby where I grew up. And while in the area I usually meet old friends and hang out. This year there was none of that. But it's nice to have the means of communication that the internet provides. Video…

The last stream before Christmas of course has to be a little more Christmassy (is that a word?). So, some songs of the season in the set list, and I also did something I was planning to do already last year - to play "Silent night" together with my little church. Merry Christmas everyone!

First multi channel stream! It was broadcast simultaneously on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and VK. The themes for this stream was Jimmy Smith and John Lennon. December 8th is both the birthday of Jimmy Smith, and the day John Lennon got shot. So I wanted to honor this fantastic artists. But of course, since we are…

Due to some technical issues, I had to relocate this week's stream from my studio to my living room where I have my A100. Which in a way was approrpiate for the occasion. One of the themes was my first concert on Dec 3rd, 1997, and on that concert I played to particular organ!

First livestream in a while, but I'll plan to do them more regularly inte the time to come. This time at my B3, and the lamp used to belong to my grandfather. A cozy setup for a Sturday night stream.

First time playing my own music at Glenn Mille Café! the government had imposed new Corona restrictions just days before, so threre weren't too many there, but it was also streamed. Regardless, we fun playing!

Some nights just about everything goes wrong, and this was one of those nights. When I was setting up the organ, a fuse blew and made my Nord stop functioning, almost. All the drawbars and most buttons stopped responding. However, there one present sound available and the worked to do the concert. Also, Erik's guitar…

So great to get out and play! Ludvika jazz club had arranged for a Corona safe concert with 50 chairs evenly spaced in front of the stage. The repertoire of the trio is so fun. Straight ahead organ jazz from the 50s and 60's. Nothing more, nothing less.

Afternoon gig at the cozy Café August in Hudiksvall. Even better than than night before I think. Anyway, these two gigs have been a great start to our duo.

First live gig with this duo! Really been looking forward. Unfortunately the recent rise in corona numbers and restrictions probaböy made most people stay at home. But we played for those who were there and it was a great start for the duo.

Day 2 of the jazz festival and Claes Janson with Arnesen Bluesband played at Engelen in the old town of Stockholm. A wide mix of Claes' songs, some BB king and a couple of songs from ABB's repertoire.

On the starting day of Stockholm jazz festival 2020 and Trinity played that night at Biocafé Tellus. We all enjoyed it immensly! We were also interviewed for a podcast, with both interviews and music. All in Swedish, but it’s mostly music so it’s accessible to anyone.

Claes Janson has always been one of my favorite singers and we have worked together in various ways over the years. We did a duo performance a while back and we both agreed we have to do more of the. So here it is: First official duo concert! And more to come.

This was a concert that was canceled in May due to corona, so we were very glad to do it now! Always fun to play duo, and this time was no exception. The concert also had a small service and it was very nice as well.

The times are a changing, for sure, and I finally have jumped on the livestream train. Here I play solo organ on my black B3. I hope to do many more concerts like this so stay tuned!

And so, the third and last stream of the day was Apan & Grisen, that is, me and Daniel Olsson. Thomas Arnesen also joined for a few songs towards the end. We played mostly my songs. Great fun!
