The swinging nursing home – The Living Aarhus Jazz Museum. This Aarhus senior citizen's big band has many names. Led by H.C. Vartenberg, it performs instrumental and vocal big band arrangements by Peder Pedersen, who took the initiative to form Peder Pedersen Big Band, which was the house band at Jazzklubben Tagskægget in Aarhus for many years. Here, they were a weekly act and often featured American stars. Apart from arranging, Peder Pedersen also conducts some tunes with the band and is part of the trombone section. The level is high and the lineup boasts several Gaffelpris award winners, which is awarded by Jazzselskabet Aarhus. The music predominantly stems from 'The American Songbook', from back in the day when men were men and the women liked it. Since Skt. Pauls Band was established in 2002, they've played gigs during Aarhus Festuge, Aarhus Jazz Festival, Randers Festuge, Odder Festuge, Aarhus Musikhus, and Djurslands Jazzklub. Furthermore, they've performed in the Faroe Islands, at Tunø Festival, and Østersø Jazz Festival on Bornholm.
