Tant Bertas Jasskapell

Tant Bertas Jasskapell is one of the oldest existing jazz bands in Gothenburg, Sweden and was formed as early as 1963. The band started as a quintet but gradually more musicians were brought in and since the mid 80's the band has nine members. Tant Bertas Jasskapell plays traditional jazz and swing, evergreens, gospels, foxtrot, drum, tango and songs in Caribbean rhythms, all with ample singing elements and everything with glitter in the ear and in their own burlesque vintage. Tant Bertas Jasskapell does not confess to any known traditional jazz style, but it is an honor to exceed as many style boundaries as possible. The music is distinctly dance-friendly and the musicians radiate joy and warmth, the audience usually say.
