Kind of Jazz, led by pianist Jan Lundgren, has become something of an institution in Stockholm’s jazz scene. This spring tradition now enters its eighth season, presenting three new concerts in the Grünewald Hall – three distinct encounters in which Lundgren brings together musicians from various backgrounds and generations.

It began as an experiment exactly twenty years ago. That was when Sardinian trumpeter Paolo Fresu, French accordionist Richard Galliano and Swedish pianist Jan Lundgren first came together for a series of concerts that resulted in the first Mare Nostrum album.
