Grandpa Says:

"It was a lovely day at Sofiero Castle outside Helsingborg. We had to struggle to keep up with a very energetic Gustav VI Adolf, who, with long, fast steps, kept running ahead. He also had a very specific opinion about how all the pictures should be taken, to illustrate his royal garden" Dan Segerfeldt

"Ella Fitzgerald especially gave of herself, and Louis "Ludde" Armstrong became like a friend. I especially enjoyed hearing my great drum idol Gene Crupa play the drums as if they were both trumpets and saxophones. He was the first drummer to start with drum solos.” Dan Segerfeldt

Jazz pictures during his time as a press photographer during Stenberg's pictures time. I know that some pictures were taken in Copenhagen and some in Stockholm at various jazz festivals.

"As a press photographer, I didn't just get to photograph my big jazz stars  at Tivoli in Copenhagen and at Nalen in Stockholm; I also got to hang out with them backstage, together with my colleagues where we got the chance to take pictures of the stars and of ourselves with the stars.”
