Perdido Jazz and Blues (Dekarsögården, SE)

http://www.perdido.se/

Följ med oss på en oförglömlig jazzkväll med duon Champian Fulton och Klas Lindquist, när de tar sitt kritikerrosade samarbete till Dekarsögården. 

Pianisten och sångerskan Champian Fulton, född i Oklahoma men numera baserad i New York, hyllas som ”en charmig ung förvaltare av den etablerade jazztraditionen” (The New York Times), där hon blandar mästerligt pianospel med en röst som påminner om Billie Holiday och Dinah Washington. Tillsammans med Klas Lindquist på altsaxofon och klarinett, känd för sin tekniska briljans, fantasi och stil, levererar duon ett livfullt samtal runt jazzstandards. Deras senaste album ”At Home” spelades in i en intim vardagsrumsmiljö och fångar en avslappnad kemi med djup respekt för den jazztraditionen. Liksom albumet lovar kvällens framträdande en kväll fylld av värme och spontanitet. Våra lokala musiker, basisten Tobias Helén och trummisen Martin Eklöf, gör att duon blir till en kvartett. Denna konsert är möjlig tack vare stöd från Lennart Östbergs Musikfond.

Följ med oss på en oförglömlig jazzkväll med duon Champian Fulton och Klas Lindquist.

Pianisten och sångerskan Champian Fulton, född i Oklahoma men numera baserad i New York hyllas som ”en charmig ung förvaltare av den etablerade jazztraditionen” (The New York Times), där hon blandar mästerligt pianospel med en röst som påminner om Billie Holiday och Dinah Washington.

Tillsammans med Klas Lindquist på altsaxofon- och klarinett, känd för sin ”tekniska briljans, fantasi och stil” (Göteborgs-Posten), levererar denna duo ett livfullt samtal runt jazzstandards. Deras senaste album, At Home (Turtle Bay Records, 2025), spelades in i en intim vardagsrumsmiljö och fångar en avslappnad kemi med djup respekt för den jazztraditionen. Liksom albumet lovar kvällens framträdande att vara fyllt av värme och spontanitet.

Den här konserten belyser duons extraordinära synergi, skapad genom flera års samarbete, inklusive slutsålda spelningar på Copenhagen Jazz Festival, New York Citys berömda Birdland Jazz Club och Stockholms Fasching. Med Fultons piano och sång som är både tidlös och fräsch, och Lindquists lyriska frasering, återskapar de klassiker som ”The Very Thought of You” och ”Tea for Two” tillsammans med sina egna originalkompositioner. Som den Grammy-vinnande historikern Ricky Riccardi skriver i inledningen till ”At Home”, uppnår deras samspel ”en nivå av hög konst”. 

Missa inte denna chans att uppleva två av jazzens mest fängslande artister i en intim miljö.

Jazz at Kleinhans (Buffalo NY)

FLYING HIGH HOLIDAYS with Carmen Bradford, Vanessa Perea and Champian Fulton

TICKETS & INFO

Jazz at Kleinhans proudly continues a new holiday tradition with the 2nd Annual Jazz at Kleinhans Christmas Celebration— Swinging in the Holidays — a special time of seasonal classics reimagined through the swinging spirit of jazz. This special presentation, adapted from the acclaimed Swinging in the Holidays production, brings a hip, sophisticated take on beloved holiday standards, marrying Broadway, Old Hollywood charm, and timeless favorites with forward-looking jazz artistry.

At the heart of the evening is Champian Fulton — an acclaimed jazz pianist and vocalist whose artistry bridges jazz tradition, swing, and the Great American Songbook. Fulton leads her trio through a spirited program of joyous melodies and rich arrangements that capture the warmth and cheer of the season. Her work draws on decades of performance on major jazz stages and reflects a deep command of the jazz tradition, making this a holiday concert like no other.

Swinging in the Holidays brings together an extraordinary international ensemble whose collective credentials span Grammy recognition, major awards, historic big band legacies, and performances on the world’s most revered jazz stages. Led by internationally acclaimed pianist and vocalist Champian Fulton, Grammy Award-winning vocalist Carmen Bradford, and others, to be announced. Together, these artists represent multiple generations of jazz excellence — rooted in the Great American Songbook tradition while vibrantly alive in today’s global jazz landscape. Their combined experience includes performances at Lincoln Center, Birdland, The Kennedy Center, major international festivals, and concert halls across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. For this special holiday production at Kleinhans Music Hall, they unite in a swinging celebration that honors jazz’s rich legacy while delivering the joy, warmth, and sophistication that define the season.

Swinging in the Holidays celebrates the music that defined an era — from the swing classics of Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Nat “King” Cole, and Ella Fitzgerald to the nostalgic favorites that anchor our holiday memories — all re-imagined with sophistication, imagination, and joyful spirit.

This performance also coincides with the holiday release connected to the Flying High series, Flying High for the Holidays, produced by Fulton, further underscoring the evening’s blend of tradition and creative jazz interpretation. It is not simply a Christmas concert — it is a polished artistic celebration of rhythm, melody, and shared experience, presented in the magnificent acoustical setting of Kleinhans Music Hall.
