Laid back Christmas mingling gig. Also nice to have two days in a row. And the food was really good!

Final gig for now with this trio. Monik is going back to Canada in a few weeks but it was nice to do a stream from the HQ as well. A few friends in the audience, and some freshly baked bread.

In Sweden this year, Father's day is celebrated on Nov 14th. Since my dad always have loved blues and hard swinging shuffle I thought I'd dedicate this stream to him. A trio setting with Thomas Arnesen and Daniel Olsson seemed perfect for the occasion.

Booking a gig on a short notice is sometimes risky, especially if it's in another town where you don't have access to the best channels of information. We decided to give a try. It was really a great gig, but unfortunately the audience weren't that much bigger the band. Ah well, at least we had…

First gig with this trio! Monik and I got to know each other over the internet. During this fall she is in Sweden on a schollarship, so we put together a repertoire, asked Daniel Olsson to join and booked a few gigs. This one started out a little scary though. One of the tubes in…

Almost had forgotten what a nice venue this is, beautifully located on Ekerö outside Stockholm. Crisp autumn day. And as usual, we had a blast with the blues band and Claes Janson!

Wow. Just wow. I wanted to do this for so long. To combine the sound of two organs and find ways on how to combine them so that they complement and strengthen each other without it turning into a contest or a duel. Photos: Palli Kristmundsson

Nice to be back at Katalin's jazzbar after a dreadful corona hiatus. Hope it can stay this way now, but as it seems nowadays, you never know...

Coming from the club like festival gig with this trio in Uppsala two days before, playing a church was a bit of a contrast. But not in a bad way. This room is so spacious but at the same time so acoustically pleasant. And the trio is so fun, regardless of venue or occasion. Also,…

This summer att Katalin has certainly been remarkable. Normally they close down and there is not too much activity but this year there has been several concerts each week at the outdoors terrace. To finish it all they arranged a small festival towards the end of summer. It was supposed to be outdoors but due…

As usual, a great finish of the summer church tour in Brännkyrka. Especially this summer when we're coming out of corona. Thank you Brännkyrka!

Grand opening at Musikhuset! I have played ehere a couple of times before with various bands and up until now it was been like a music café. Now however, they have fot the rights to serve alcoholic beverages which makes it a proper music pub. This was the opening event with lots of specially invited…

For a number of years, I've had an ongoing collaboration with Norweigan friends Hans Bollandsås and Helene Misund. They live in the Trondhiem area so it's not that close, but every once in a while we get together for a few concerts and some nice hang. This time they made the trip to Uppsala and…

Nice afternoon gig!

Uppsala isn't really a summer city. Many people go away on their summer vacation and so the city kind of sleeps during this time. This summer, however, Katalin opened a new stage at the deck outside and had several concerts each week. For me, who spends quite a lot of time in town during summer…

Nice summer gig in Växjö, a town very dear to me. It was also livestreamed, so you can watch whenever. The video is linked below.

Playing with Kiralina and this trio is always such a joy and this time was no exception. Gospel songs and jazz standards, played in our own way.

Remembering my birthday concert 5 years ago, where I played with Trinity, a Kjell Öhman tribute and had the release of my album Finally! This also was my last Saturday stream in a while so it was a little sad as well.

Celebrating Pentecost on the same day as the European song contest, I thought the theme should be voices. And so, for the first time on these streams, I sing a couple of tunes! Also cheering my beloved neighboring country Norway.

In these times it's really liberating to get out and play. Only going to Stockholm, about an hour away, feels like being on tour. And Glenn Miller Café is the perfect place to get all your ideas out of the system, especially in a duo setting.

Arnesen Blues band har been around for almost 20 years and has a more modern approach to the blues, sometimes streching the boundaries towards other genres. In any case, it's a well oiled swinging machine!

The weekend after Ascension day and of the themes is flying, as Christ did to the heavens. Also celebrating the birthday of Stevie Wonder and others.

The day of victory in Europe in World war 2, in 1945. So let's take a look back and explore the music back then. Also, Keith Jarrett was born on that exact day and Groove Holmes had his birthday earlier in the week.
