traditional jazz with effervescence, energy, up-tempo and a dash of Paris
As soon as the first notes ring out from Swedish Nanna Carling and her band, we are off on a time trip to the world of the speakeasy, the dance halls and smokey jazz bars.
Nanna Carling Swingband play traditional jazz with effervescence, energy, up-tempo and a dash of Paris. A delicate cocktail of timeless classics, hidden pearls and original compositions, Nanna Carling whisks us back to the golden days of jazz, when legends such as Sidney Bechet, Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday set the pace. Plus, this band add their own modern twist, which gives the music a fresh creativity.
From Basin Street Blues to Dream a Little Dream of Me, Carling and her band deliver the classics we all know and love with an energy and a charisma that make it hard to sit still. The band pull forgotten jazz gems out of the hat, and play their own numbers, proving that jazz is a living art form.
2025 will be another busy year for Nanna Carling, releasing her second full-length album Melodies For Two, a romantic story comprising exclusively her own compositions, which, borne by the swing band, we will also hear at Tønder.
