| dbo:abstract | Kustbandet is a Swedish jazz orchestra founded as a school band in Stockholm in 1962 by Christer Ekhé (né Jansson) and Kenneth Arnström. Originally playing in traditional New Orleans jazz style and, as the band grew, moving towards big band style as played by Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Luis Russell, Jelly Roll Morton et al. in the 1920s - 1930's. Up to the mid-1970s Arnström was the musical leader of Kustbandet and no written music was used. In the late 70's Bent Persson joined the orchestra introducing his own charts and transcriptions from vintage recordings. Kustbandet perform regularly at concerts, dances and festivals and have toured extensively in Europe, Asia, Australia and The USA. Highlights have been three Nobel Prize Galas, Prairie Home Companion radio shows and New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festivals. Kustbandet was formed in the wake of the "jazz war" between traditionalists and modernists in the early 1960s. With time these labels have become redundant, as jazz styles have become more homogeneous. This is also reflected within the orchestra nowadays moving freely between the early jazz styles. Kustbandet's concerts are labeled: "From Ragtime to Swing" presenting blues, ragtime, boogie woogie, Dixieland, swing, gospel, New Orleans brass band-style. The band has recorded more than 20 albums (LP, EP and CD), mainly for the labels Kenneth Records, Stomp Off, Circle Records and Sittel. In 1987 trombonist Jens "Jesse" Lindgren took over the leadership of the band. (en) Kustbandet är en svensk jazzorkester som bildades 1962 i Årsta i Stockholm. Den bildades av klasskamraterna Christer "Cacka" Ekhé (då: Jansson) och Kenneth Arnström. Ursprungligen i traditionell New Orleans-stil, men allteftersom nya medlemmar tillkom i arrangerad 20-talsstil med Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, , Jelly Roll Morton med flera som förebilder. Kustbandet spelade fram till mitten av 70-talet, då Arnström lämnade gruppen, utan skrivna arrangemang, och framträdanden och inspelningar under hans ledning kännetecknas av ett fritt förhållande till förebilderna med spontana infall, gags och stundtals modernistiskt improviserande. I och med att trumpetaren och arrangören Bent Persson kom med i Kustbandet effektiviserades repetitionerna och repertoaren utökades snabbare. Kustbandet framträder på konserter, danstillställningar och festivaler och har turnerat i ett 20-tal länder. Uppmärksammade framträdanden under senare år har varit Nobelfesten (tre gånger under 1990-talet), den amerikanska radioshowen "A Prairie Home Companion" under ledning av samt "New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival". Kustbandet tillkom i efterdyningarna av "motsättningarna" mellan jazzens traditionalister och modernister. Med åren har dessa genrer suddats ut och stilar har blandats. Detta återspeglas också inom orkestern, som under större delen av sin karriär rört sig mellan flera av den tidiga jazzens stilar. "From Ragtime to Swing" är idag också rubriken på Kustbandets konserter, som är en exposé över det tidiga 1900-talets jazzhistoria: blues, ragtime, boogie woogie, hot, jazz, swing, gospel, och brass band-style med mera. Orkestern, som sedan 1987 leds av trombonisten Jens "Jesse" Lindgren, har under åren spelat in ett antal LP-skivor och CD och turnerar årligen i Sverige och utomlands. (sv) |
