These albums also became his best-selling records.
In other words, it’s no bad idea to revisit that concept – and that’s exactly what the American clarinettist and saxophonist Ken Peplowski and his ensemble do here. The versatile Peplowski has explored a wide range of musical genres, having collaborated with artists such as Mel Tormé, Peggy Lee, Madonna, Marianne Faithfull, and Woody Allen.
Most of the music performed consists of the original arrangements from Charlie Parker’s best-selling 1950 albums. The ensemble of around 20 musicians is led by Calle Rasmusson.

She is widely acclaimed and richly awarded, with critics bending over backwards to capture the impact of her performances. As Downbeat Magazine wrote: “Imagine if Sarah Vaughan played saxophone like Dexter Gordon. That’s about the effect you get when vocalist and tenor saxophonist Camille Thurman takes the stage.”
Born in New York in 1986, Camille Thurman is a saxophonist, vocalist, and composer. She made history as the first woman in 30 years to tour, record, and perform internationally as a full-time member of the world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, which she was part of from 2018 to 2020.
Equally impressive as a singer and saxophonist, Thurman’s artistry combines tradition and innovation in a captivating way. She made her recording debut in 2014 and has since released three additional albums under her own name, most recently Confluence, Vol. 1: Alhambra in 2024. She has also contributed to numerous other albums.
Now making her debut at Konserthuset Stockholm, Thurman performs with the Darrell Green Quartet. Her latest album is a collaboration with Green and his quartet. Darrell Green, also from New York, is a highly sought-after drummer and bandleader who has toured with legends such as Pharoah Sanders and Dr. Lonnie Smith.

It has been 20 years since the Konserthuset’s own big band was founded, and with this spring’s final concert, Asplund and Lindgren bid farewell as its artistic leaders, passing the baton to the next generation. This grand finale is a celebration at the highest level – not least since it features Dee Dee Bridgewater, the legendary vocalist and jazz diva who never fails to captivate her audience.
Dee Dee Bridgewater’s life and career are marked by both strong integrity and artistic curiosity. A three-time Grammy Award winner, she has performed at Konserthuset three times before, most recently in 2016. This, however, will be her first appearance with the Blue House Jazz Orchestra.
