At the annual Ystad Jazz Festival in Ystad, Sweden, it's business as usual. Since we are restricted in most places in the U.S. from public gatherings, many jazz clubs are closed and concerts have been postponed or cancelled. So Itta Johnson and my friends in Sweden sent along a link so you can enjoy what you're missing.
Over the weekend, I'll feature links to the entire festival thus far. For now, here's a 1 1/2 hour concert from yesterday evening at Ystads Teater with Scott Hamilton on saxophone backed by the marvelous Jan Lundgren on piano, Hans Backenroth on bass and Kristian Leth on drums, featuring Ulf Wakenius on guitar. Thank you, Itta, Jan and everyone else there. Sending much love...
