JazzFest Berlin 2001

October 31 through November 4
Haus der Berliner Festspiele, Tränenpalast, Quasimodo, stilwerk, A-Trane

Musical Director
Nils Landgren

JazzFest Berlin 2001 invites you to a smorgasbord of jazz from Nordic countries. The 2001 chef is Nils Landgren, Swedish trombone player with a strong affinity to "funk'n'folk" which proves on some popular albums on the German ACT label. Nils has put together a program menu with a main course of Scandinavian bands from Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden as well as from Iceland, of course - with a side order of German talent, and some surplus of surprises. Witness all the action in concert (Festspielhaus, stilwerk) or at clubs like A-Trane, Quasimodo or tRÄNENpALAST. But Finn-Tango, Nils Petter Molvaer, Bugge Wesseltoft, E.S.T., Marilyn Mazur or Palle Mikkelborg aren't the only gems. See Max Roach, watch the keyboard artistry of Jon Jang, Antonio Farao or Jens Thomas and more "TBA Sweets from our Swede" Nils Landgren.
