Gunhild Carling: The Swedish Jazz Sensation!
Thu, Oct 22
Gunhild Carling never plays just one instrument. Across a set she moves through trombone, trumpet, bagpipes, piano, harmonica, drums, harp, and ukulele. She sings too. She tap dances too. Carling is a Swedish jazz artist. She has shared stages with the Count Basie Orchestra, the WDR Big Band, and Postmodern Jukebox. Her trumpet is on Sabrina Carpenter's album Singular: Act II. At Doc's she is backed by Doc's House Band, the same group that anchors other nights in this room. Each visit runs the same way. She picks up whatever the song needs and keeps going. Expect a full set, not a highlight reel.
