The more one watches and listens to Gunhild Carling, the more amazing she seems.
Her first instrument was trombone which she still plays with spirit, and she can also play jazz bagpipes and recorder.
But on this performance, she sings just like Billie Holiday (she can also sound like Cab Calloway), plays trumpet and swings on the harp.
The remarkable musician is joined by her brother Max Carling on clarinet, her daughter Idun Blome on trombone, and her sister Gerd Carling who is on piano, plus guitarist Mans Persson, bassist Max Nordstrom, and drummer Hakan Persson.
