"Neither of us had looked at this as a money-making venture," Alexa explains. "It's been an amazing opportunity to give back." Her online voice has expanded further in recent weeks, as an ongoing relationship with Jazz at Lincoln Center has yielded a second platform, focusing on artist devel- opment and education. The collaboration's output, "The Well-Rounded Musician," is a weekly Thursday webcast during which Alexa discusses aspects of building a life in music. "I've felt there is a lack of informa- tion for students wanting to set them- selves up for success in their careers," she notes. "So I wanted to use the platform to offer a self-motivated, entrepreneurial education."

  • Konsert- Program 2012
    Konsert- program 2012 Robert Wells – Charlie Norman- dagen 12/8 Jazzens Museum Royal Garden Café & Restaurant Museet öppet hela sommaren 1 Varmt välkomna till den 14:e säsongen! Det är roligt att konstatera att Jazzens Museum i Strömsholm idag är etablerat, omtyckt och välbesökt. Det är fortfarande Europas enda jazzmuseum värt namnet. Mer än 20 000 föremål finns i samlingarna utöver de 1 500 som ingår i Charlie Norman- samlingen. Ansvarig för arkiv och registrering är Björn Bärnheim som ni kan träffa nästan varje öppen dag under sommaren. Han är jazzkännaren vars kunnande vi inte skulle kunna vara utan. En del har hört rykten om att museet går över i andra händer och det stämmer om vi kan finna lämpliga övertagare med intresse att driva verksamheten i enlighet med stiftelsens stadgar. Känner du någon eller några som kan vara lämpliga är vi tacksamma att få veta detta. Manegen är krattad. Tills vidare fortsätter förstås undertecknad att med största entu- siasm driva verksamheten tillsammans med alla ideella krafter och säsongsanställda. Således hälsar vi alla välkomna till den fjortonde säsongen. Rolf Carvenius SKIVOR ATT KÖPA PÅ JAZZENS MUSEUM LIVE AT JAZZENS MUSEUM är en dubbel-cd med 26 låtar inspelade under10 år på Jazzens Museum. Köp den vid besöket för 200 kr eller sätt in 230 kr (inkl. porto) på plusgiro nr 78 11 40-9 så skickar vi albumet. Medverkar gör Louise Hoffsten, Joe Muranyi, Göta River Jazzmen, Barfota Jazzmen,Scott Hamilton, Frida Öhrn, Uffe Flink, Bernt Egerbladh, Carin Lundin, Tuxedo Jazzband, Sveriges Jazzband, Stockholm Swing All Stars, Eddie Davis och Jesses American All Stars med flera.

  • Gunhild Carling and Her Swing Band Gunhild Carling Is a Jazzartist of the Old Breed, Combining Extraordinary Skills on Trumpet and Trombone with Vaudeville Stunts
    Gunhild Carling and Her Swing Band Gunhild Carling is a jazzartist of the old breed, combining extraordinary skills on trumpet and trombone with vaudeville stunts. In her playing she shows heavy in- fluences from Bix and Louie Armstrong as well as Billie Holiday. The songs are chosen from the classical swing reportoire with well known songs like “Sheik Of Araby” but also less performed numbers like “They All Laughed”. In 2001 she formed her own band with local musicians from southern Sweden. The record “That’s My Desire” is recorded on a local pub in Lund, the university city in southern Sweden. All songs on the record are recorded in the same session and captures the magic of live music and the feeling that night. Musicians: Gunhild Carling: trumpet, trombone, blues harp, song Max Carling: clarinet, violin Ola Åkerman: trombone Rasmus Kihlberg:drums Ludvig Wennström: contrabass Olle Larsson:piano Info about the recording The John Bull pub in Lund is a really small “L”-shaped place. The “stage” was set next to the entrance with the piano pushed to a wall. The room has a large coverage of rug and varying ceiling height, 2.5m->3.5m, resulting in an almost dead acoustic space; good for loud people but a bit dry for music. As Gunhild does not play the soft modern jazzmusic but rather a loud and wild swing music, the piano, bass and voice had to be amplified. I did the FOH at the same time as the recording using 2 dbOpera 412 loudspeakers, running the inserts from the mixer to the recorder.
