CANCELED - Mr Blues - Håkan Lewin kvartett & Claes Janson
Mr Blues is a new hard-swinging, blues-saturated quartet, whose members have many years of experience in concert activities both nationally and internationally. 19 October in the foyer of Karlskrona Consert hall, at 19.30.
The repertoire includes music by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and Hank Crawford, some of the songs and arrangements of which have come down from the days of the Gugge Hedrénius Big Blues Band. The programme also includes stories and anecdotes from our long and rich musical life.
