Whether she’s singing favorite swinging jazz standards, playing one of eleven instruments (including trumpet, trombone, harmonica, oboe, harp, flute, recorder, and jazz bagpipe!), or juggling and tap dancing, Swedish sensation Gunhild Carling’s sublime splendor shines. Regularly including vintage classics like “Minnie the Moocher,” “Sweet Georgia Brown,” “All of Me,” and “It Had to Be You” in her seemingly endless repertoire of songs, the frequent Postmodern Jukebox collaborator masterfully transports audiences to another era, like a musical time machine. And just wait for the finale—spoiler alert—she plays three trumpets at once!
