Under that slogan, Elin Trogen and Karin Fredriksson run Lekisjazz, which, together with their Crocodile Orchestra, has toured Sweden on stages and festivals since 2010.
Over the years, Lekisjazz has also won the occasional prize statuette for its music, whose main audience is bobbing diaper bottoms and discerning music critics who have not yet learned to speak cleanly, and the ambition is basically to make jazz in all its forms available far down the ages. With a bit of swing, big band and be bop in their crocodile bag, they cook up songs and performances that swing sharply, set the legs ablaze and tell stories that trigger the imagination.
On the newest record LEKISJAZZHITS, they talk about a dachshund who wants to be an office dog, think about all the sounds that exist in the forest, discuss what a hit really is and how a party in the vegetable land can go.
Welcome to the world of Lekisjazz – now if possible even more swinging, fun and festive!
A concert for children between 1-7 years and their parents, of course.
