Об альбоме (сборнике) Erik Kjellberg (b. 1939) became 1985 professor of musicology at Uppsala University. His writings include the doctoral thesis on the position of royal musicians in Sweden during the Great Power era, the music history book Klingande Sverige (together with Jan Ling) and Swedish jazz history: an overview . Like Jan Johansson, he treats piano, vibraphone and accordion. This CD of previously unreleased music accompanied a 400 page biography of Jan Johansson written by Erik Kjellberg. The book also describes a rare creative time in Swedish music and cultural life. Discovering joy was great in many cultural areas. Among the most important contributions was Jan Johansson's musical act. Jan Johansson (1931-1968) came to assume a special position in Swedish jazz music, despite his short life. His versatility and brilliance as an improviser, composer and organizer were remarkable. With the same playful experimentation he created Pippi Longstocking's signature melody as breathtaking modern compositions for the Radio Jazz group. With a certain sense of style, he lifted meditative jazz from the Swedish folk music and won big listening choirs. As an accompanist and improvisator, he played with many of the jazz's international greats. While at home, he joined the circle around Arne Domnérus orchestra, which he belonged to at the time of his death. As particularly significant, the artificial trio music appears with guitarist Rune Gustafsson and bassist Georg Riedel. Erik Kjellberg has written a thorough biography of this musical talent. We follow him from the upbringing Söderhamn to Chalmers in Gothenburg, where he went to become an engineer. But he was soon caught by the Gothenburg jazz of the time and interrupted his studies. Soon he crossed the strait to Copenhagen and played with Stan Getz, Oscar Pettiford and other great men in the jazz, before eventually moving to Stockholm and Arne Domnérus orchestra. In the capital he was able to develop new musical pages. He wrote ballet and film music and songs to gymnastics, he compiled Monica Z and Cornelis in some classic songs, played children's songs and historical pieces in an amazing show and much more. Jan Johansson's musical appetite was insatiable. And his curiosity and style made his music transcendent and interesting.
