Peter Asplund – The Christmas feeling

Every year, Peter Asplund brings his band and his guest vocalists for a full-scale Christmas celebration at Fasching. With a full big band, some of Sweden’s strongest voices, and a handful of freshly arranged classics — Swedish and American alike — we’re invited into a Christmas show with a glint in its eye, musical weight, and its heart in the right place.

Asplund moves between the trumpet’s razor-sharp phrases and the self-assured elegance of the crooner. “He fires off a volley of sharply phrased lines before sliding, in the next breath, into warm, melodic balladeering,” wrote Leif Domnérus in Orkester Journalen.

Expect everything from glittering swing to heartfelt ballads, delivered with jazz’s darkness, warmth, and precision. The Christmas Feeling is exactly what it sounds like: a luxuriously wrapped Christmas mood, with every note tucked in like a present.
