Emma Augustsson Kvartett
Crackling and swinging music with lyrics by Pleijel, Åkesson and Stagnelius.
In January, Emma Augustsson released the album “Härifrån” with compositions for Agneta Pleijels two poetry collections “Änglar, dvärgar” and “Ögon ur en dröm”. Pleijels lyrics are usually described as containing a deep understanding of humanity and a merciless honesty. The music is a tickling mix of jazz, art, poetry and improvisation. In addition to Augustsson on vocals and organ, the quartet consists of the fantastic jazz musicians Niklas Barnö, Mats Dimming and Dennis Egberth. The evening will also feature newly written music to poems by Sonja Åkesson and Erik Johan Stagnelius. A warm welcome to Blinda Tigern’s beautiful attic room at Musikaliska Kvarteret!
”Words and no jazz tunes. Jazz, pop, art music and more are mixed, safely and effectively. Like sounding staged poetry, a set in music. What different, unique interpretations of music and poetry”
