North Beach Big Band XXXMAS + julejam

When 25 musicians kick off funky grooves, swinging beats, catchy tunes, soulful soul, and Latin rhythms that make the floor sway — you know that the North Beach Big Band (NBBB) has taken the stage. We live to create celebration, joy, and community with catchy and beautiful music. North Beach Big Band is holding its third Christmas concert (hence XXX-MAS) together with us at Nordstrand Jazz Club, and as tradition dictates, it will be both crowded and filled with festive cheer on December 12, 2026. NBBB's first Christmas concert in 2024 was sold out in less than three days, so it's first come, first served (Tikkio) for those who want to secure their ticket! As tradition goes, there will also be opportunities for a Christmas jam, so bring your instrument and join us in creating Christmas music on stage after the break. At our first concert, Thomas Numme and Gro-Marthe Dickson performed several typical Christmas crooner songs together with NBBB, and last year, Venke Knutson graced us with beautiful interpretations of Ella Fitzgerald. We will also have guest soloists at our Christmas concert in 2026, but you'll discover who they are at the concert itself! 21-23 performing musicians on stage!
