I arrived late at the gig tonight, so I missed a couple of songs. The Quiet Nights Orchestra were playing at the legendary jazz club Fasching here in Stockholm. My old friend Peter is the leader of the band and plays the trombone.

All I have to say is: hot damn! Amazing jazz, nice atmosphere and a couple of Mariestads – the evening couldn’t have been much better. Well, I was kind of disappointed that the singer of the band, Sofie, didn’t recognize me even though we went to high school together. Maybe it was my mustache and ball cap that kept her from recognizing me? To comfort myself I picked up their 12-inch release on Japanese label P-Vine – as well as their full length “Chapter One” on CD – at a friend discount.

I didn’t have a camera with me, so some videos from their release party at Berns will have to suffice. (A party I missed for reasons unknown.)
