Jazz Winnipeg’s inaugural Euro Night at the Fort Garry Hotel is a new addition to the festival program, showcasing two of the most exciting acts currently working in the European jazz scene: Sweden's groundbreaking piano trio MUSICMUSICMUSIC, and the Netherland's answer to Kurt Elling, the adventurous jazz vocalist and songwriter Henk Kraaijeveld.
About MUSICMUSICMUSIC
“MusicMusicMusic belongs to the Swedish jazz elite and operates in its own universe, which is much more than just jazz.” – Göteborgs-Posten
Three extraordinary jazz musicians make up MUSICMUSICMUSIC. In their native Sweden the trio has been labelled one of the "most vitalizing music experiences to hit the jazz scene in years." With a passion for experimentation and an ever present joy in playing, the group skilfully takes on classical jazz compositions as well as original work by the group’s pianist Fabian Kallerdahl, who has been rewarded with the Jazz in Sweden prize.
The group has become widely acclaimed for their refreshing lack of respect, humorous features and intimate live performances and has reached out to audiences far beyond the traditional borders of jazz music. In the past years the band’s dedicated touring schedule has covered the Nordic countries and northern Europe. The trio has also set time aside to perform in both South Africa, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, China, Mexico and the US.
MUSICMUSICMUSIC was formed in 2003 and the members of the trio has been the same since then; Fabian Kallerdahl, piano, Michael Edlund, drums and Josef Kallerdahl, bass. After 20 years of groundbreaking music MMM is something of an institution in Swedish jazz and continues moving jazz ahead and celebrating their love to music on stages everywhere.
