Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill is one of the biggest attractions during this year's Stockholm Jazz Festival to be held in July, organizers said yesterday.
Some 25,000 people are expected to attend the concerts, which will also feature Roy Haynes Fountain of Youth, Lee Ritenour, Johnny Lang, Angélique Kidjo and Toots Thielemans.
Hill, a former member of the rap trio the Fugees, set a record for female artists in 1999 when she won five Grammy awards for The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. In 2002, she released the CD MTV Unplugged 2.0.
The festival is produced by Canadian-born John Nugent, who has also been the producer of other music festivals. AP
