Lasse
Collin and the Jazz Pirates
Jazz Pirates is
a New Orleans quartet swingin' good old tunes with
Lasse's clarinet in the
lead, Mathias Gustavsson on banjo, Leif Melldahl, bass, and Felix
Collin, drums. Our
inspiration is the trios, quartets and quintets of Sidney Bechet, Johnny
Dodds and George
Lewis, but most of all we like playing tunes in the
creole/caribbean style and rhythm. Click
