Artist Biography

Having run Jazzagenturen as a booking agency since 2013, our network of musicians lost all work overnight due to covid-19. As it’s leader, I (Pontus de Wolfe) got the idea from a Miles Davis documentary to put together three bands and record 50 songs in 12 hours and release them in five volumes in 2020, finishing with a “Best of” double album by the end of the year. The recordings contain some of the best musicians Sweden has to offer, with a batch of new arrangements, new arrangements and classics such as ‘Over the Rainbow’ a.w.a. a lot of style(s).
