Gunhild Carling of Postmodern Jukebox at Blue Note
The Blue Note presents Gunhild Carling of Postmodern Jukebox on Thursday, May 1, at 8 p.m. Sweden’s Queen of Swing is a jazz musician and multiinstrumentalist. Famous for her ability to play three trumpets at the same time, Carling excels at trombone, trumpet and even bagpipes. She often showcases all talents in one song, including singing and breaking into a tap dance. The eccentric songstress is featured in Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox versions of “Never Going to Give You Up” and a 1920’s jazz swing version of “Material Girl,” among others.
