"This is a kulturartikel which is a part of Aftonbladet's opinionsjournalistik."

"At the Stockholm Jazz in the fall, was upwards of 20 per cent of the musicians are women. It is a decent figure."

"Jazz is a bit like the business world. Most single-sex tape. Men like to play with men. (Nah, not all men.) Also female band leader choose not rarely men. Many exceptions exist. But the risk is then great that is called girlband. Killband are not. They are a band."

"At the weekend organised the first edition of the Stockholm women's international jazz festival. The aim is to draw attention to female -instrumentalists and band-leaders."

"a few of Europe's most interesting right now multi-billionaire in the basement of a sold out, Teaterstudio Lederman. Trumpeter Hildegunn Öiseth Quartet, Lina Nyberg band (with pianist Cecilia Persson and saxophonist Silke Eberhard and the Italian drummer Cecilia Sanchietti). They have all toured around the world several laps."

"It can feel as if it is the first time. But kvinnojazzfestivaler has been around in the waves. At the end of the 1970s and early 1980s, there were several in the united states and Europe, for example, in Kansas City, where, among other things, the saxophone player Cecilia Wennerström and pianist Elise Einarsdotter attended with their band. It goes surely forward, but not so fast. Anyone who doubts whether there are in particular many female improvisatörer can take a look at the association Impras list."
