Lauryn Hill Tops Stockholm Jazz Fest
Apr. 25, 2005 - Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill will perform at the Stockholm Jazz Festival, to be held on the banks of the downtown Skeppsholmen island in July.
Some 25,000 people are expected to attend the concerts, which also will feature Roy Haynes, Lee Ritenour, Angelique Kidjo and Toots Thielemans, organizers said Monday.
Hill, a former member of the Fugees, won five Grammy Awards in 1999 for her album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." In 2002, she released "MTV Unplugged 2.0," which interspersed folk-style songs with nine spoken-word interludes in which she talked about her personal and artistic problems.
Some concerts during the July 19-23 festival will be held in the Stockholm Concert Hall and in the Kungstradgarden park in the city center, said Bosse Persson, the festival's executive director.
"About 70 percent of the music will be acoustic jazz and the rest more pop," said Persson, who is also a musician.
