with special guests Per and Tamara Danielsson, along with USf Jazz faculty members and the USF Jazz Ensemble I.
Sweden's Jan Allan is one of the masters of mainstream jazz trumpet playing. Now in his 70's, he's recognised worldwide as one of the most sensitive and swinging horn players. He can make you think of Chet Baker, Ruby Braff and Clifford Brown, but he's always his own man. Jan Allan is the featured soloist on Jack Wilkins (USF Director of Jazz Studies) latest CD "Dear Old Stockholm", recorded in Stockholm. Music from this CD will be performed on this concert. This music is inspired by the strong Swedish jazz scene, and includes Wilkins and Danielsson arrangements of Swedish folk songs, jazz classics associated with Sweden, an other selections. Jan Allan will also perform music by Swedish composers and arrangers with the USF Jazz Ensemble I on this special evening.
