lovely turn and jazz feel in fine arr. A blissful mess of jazz songs, mostly from Great American
Songbook but also some own works.

RONNIE GARDINER, drums
Ronnie has been awarded the Swedish Jazz honorary prize! The justification reads: “A brilliant
musician, inspiring orchestra leader and significant jazz ambassador is awarded the award
Lifetime Achievement 2022. His musical work has not only had great significance for
jazz in Sweden but also made an impression on medical science when he showed that rhythm and music
has a great impact on our body and soul. He has developed a method, Ronnie Gardiner

Parkinson's to get back to a tolerable life with new positive living conditions.

Gerry Mulligan and Dexter Gordon can Ronald "Ronnie" Edwin Gardiner look back on one
long Lifetime Achievement – 90 jazzy years.”
