"Christmas With My Friends VI" is a feast for all friends of colourfully interpreted and unusual Christmas carols from Bach to ABBA. In the sixth edition, the established ensemble again interprets well-known and unknown, cheerful and contemplative Christmas carols from all over the world in a new way and in the spirit of jazz.

Nils Landgren

For the words versatility and curiosity, there is a synonym: Nils Landgren. Virtuosically, "Mr. Red Horn" navigates from perspective to perspective, partly because he thrives on constant change. Two souls reside in his chest: When the audience experiences him with his "Funk Unit," the Swede reveals his distinctive, relentlessly groovy side and becomes the jazz action hero. But there's also a very gentle, melancholic, highly sentimental Nils Landgren. This side of him emerges, for example, during the Advent season when the instrumentalist and singer celebrates "Christmas With My Friends," or in his ballad projects. On the trombone, he intones with unparalleled smoothness, and his uniquely textured, fragile voice touches the heart and soul with its sensitivity.
