Monica Z - A Musical Story About the Greatest Jazz Icon of Our Time
Trappscenen, Sara kulturhus, Skellefteå
THE EVENT IS SOLD OUT!
...
Welcome to a Jazzy Hour with Wihlborg Jazzband, Mia Sommar, and Monica Lindgren!
Join us as we take a deep dive into the life of singer, actress, and revue queen Monica Zetterlund. Her musical legacy is outstanding, and with her impeccable timing, emotional depth, and melodic sensibility, she mastered a wide range of compositions and styles. She was funny, swinging, and generous—equally at home on the revue stage as in the concert hall.
During this jazz café, you’ll enjoy a mix of wonderful songs and engaging stories offering glimpses into her rich life. The renowned Swedish author Tage Danielsson once described her as “a sprig of lingonberry in a cocktail glass”, and we remember her as our greatest jazz icon!
Wihlborg Jazzband plays easy-listening, swinging jazz from the 1930s to today—both covers and original compositions.
Performers:
Jan-Eric “Sunke” Sundkvist (saxophone & clarinet)
Tor Holmström (piano)
Stefan Lindberg (saxophone & flute)
Samuel Löfgren (drums)
Jan-Åke “Wille” Wihlborg (bass & band leader)
Featured Guests:
Mia Sommar – Originally from Partille, now a proud Skellefteå resident, Mia has enchanted audiences with her amazing voice. A singer, musician, and vocal coach, she has performed in numerous concerts. Later this spring, you can also see and hear her with ALMA vocal ensemble on May 24.
Monica Lindgren – A comedian and theater producer with over 40 years of experience in revue and theater. When she’s not entertaining or managing projects, she also shares book recommendations on Go’kväll. She loves to joke but is not afraid to tackle serious topics—a perfect combination as she writes the script and holds this show together. Expect humor, great atmosphere, nostalgia, and a few catchy tunes!
Don’t miss this unforgettable jazz-filled evening!
