Stockholm Jazzbeat Project S

A couple of years ago Patric Anderssson, nightclub manager and dj, met musician Anders Johansson at Sturecompagniet in Stockholm. Patric who had recently opened Jazzroom, a bar at Sturecompagniet that had live contempor ary jazz, had booked Anders hip band Nuthouse. Jazzroom was a melting pot for the developing jazz sceene, where djs and musicians met, and a couple of weeks later Anders joined Patrics djsets with his soulful guitar. A few months later Anders suggested, that instead of playing to music recorded by others, they should programme their own grooves to play in the djsets. The duo was enormously successful and played along the different clubs in Stockholm, Cafe ópera, Halvtrappa, Chiaro, Bubbla etc…. When Patric became Club manager at the big nightclub Berns, he contracted Anders as music manager and they arranged the studio beats for a full live band. Stockholm JazzBeat Project was born
