For The Absalon Orchestra I wrote arrangements with the purpose to make a small band sound bigger and also cover a wider scope of music. With our version of hot dance music we had success at private parties and company inaugurations as well as in jazz clubs in Sweden and Germany. The band was selected to represent our home town Malmö at a fair in Florence, Italy.
