Britta Virves Trio tolkar Jazz på svenska
Jazz lunch at Messingen. Britta Virves Trio interprets Jazz på svenska - Sweden's best-selling jazz album of all time
Welcome to a Jazz Lunch at Messingen. Jan Johansson’s album ”Jazz på svenska”, from 1964, has become part of the Swedish folk soul. Now we have the great pleasure of presenting Britta Virves Trio who will interpret the classic songs from the album.
During the last years of his life Jan Johansson lived in Upplands Väsby, which makes us extra happy to present this concert on our local stage Messingen.
Britta Virves Trio consists of herself behind the piano and compositions, Jon Henriksson on bass and Jonas Bäckman on drums.
In the fall of 2022, the trio released their debut album Juniper on Heartcore Records. The album was then nominated at the Grammis 2023 for Jazz of the Year.
Britta has quickly established herself on the Swedish jazz scene as a versatile and driven pianist in both big bands and smaller constellations. The trio’s music is characterized by dreamy, groovy compositions and a dynamic interplay.
Lineup:
Britta Virves – piano
Jon Henriksson – bas,
Jonas Bäckman – trummor
