Stockholm Jazz Festival 2009

As you might have read I went to Stockholms jazzfestival this weekend with my boyfriend. I tried to take as many shots as possible in between dancing and complaining about how much my feet hurt from standing all day.

I was going to write a long summary of all the performances I saw but it was waay to long so heres the shorter version… :D

My favourite performances:

1st place: RAUL MIDÒN! waah, definately the best performances of all. If you havent seen him you should! He plays the guitarr amazingly and makes music as if he was a entire band.Playing the trumpet with only his mouth, drumming the guitarr while playing and somehow doing these other noices Ive never heard a guitar make. His performance was maagical! ^^ At one point when he sang his song ”sunshine” he let the audience sing and i must say, ive never heard an audience sing as beautiful as the one at jazz festival did :D. it sounded like a choir of angels! ^^ beauutiful. Go see him!

I added a short videoclip of him too.

2nd place: Titiyo! For a beautiful, personal, heartwarming performance. I never thought she’d be one of my favourites but her songs were soo beautiful played live. amazing!

I added a video of her too.

3rdplace: Leela James! She was awesome :D. She came out on stage with such high energy and an amazingly strong voice to match it. She made a party out of the whole performance, getting the audience up on stage, dancing with the shy sound-guy that was so embarassed he couldnt even look at her and then finnishing the performance of by just playing Michael Jackson songs and making the audience dance along with her and her band who were dancing to all of his hits! AWESOME!!

4th place Estelle! She was so much fun and really down to earth. Her talks in between the songs were just as great as the songs :D. Hooray for Estelle!

There were alot of others cool performances too but these were the most memorable ones ^^.

After the last day my feet were sooo soar from standing all day I could barely walk home. Oh well, had to end my vacation with a bang ^^.

Hope you enjoy the shots and vids!
