Jeanette Lindström is one of the "Magic Nordic Voices" that were recently introduced on a CD by the German record company ACT. But she's more than a magic voice.
"An old soul in a young body ... She's really understood what jazz is all about!"
- said by Quincy Jones, after hearing Jeanette for the first time.
Now, the audience has the chance to hear her in a completely different context, with "The Amazing Norrbotten Big Band."

The composer Örjan Fahlström was the first artistic director of Norrbotten Big Band. In 1996, he left this position to Tim Hagans. In 2010, Örjan returns to Norrbotten Big Band for a very exciting project, involving the piano player Uri Caine as soloist.
Örjan will write new music for this, a shared commission from NBB and Hessian Radio.
Big band music is both form and genre. What Örjan Fahlström, who has always questioned and expanded big band music, and Uri Caine might achieve with Norrbotten Big Band is an intriguing question. This should be music outside the ordinary. Fasten seat belts!
