The Per Henrik Wallin Trio, 1986-87: Where Is Spring
by Jack Bowers
Whatever else one thinks of Swedish pianist Per Henrik Wallin, one thing must be conceded--he has assuredly developed a style of his own, which is quite evident on this album recorded by his trio nearly two decades ago. Little wonder that he has been described in the Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD as “a European ...
H: Do You Remember?
by Rob Cline
The first thing you notice about Do You Remember?, the new disc by the Håkan Broström Quartet, is how exceedingly pleasant it is to listen to. Indeed, Brostrom's bright, inviting tone, used in service of hook after hook after hook, calls to mind Cannonball Adderley. Like Adderley, Broström is an alto saxophonist who knows how to ...
Ake Johansson: Trio 77
by Craig W. Hurst
Trio 77 is a CD release of a 1977 recording made for Swedish Radio by pianist Ake Johansson. Johansson, who emerged on the Swedish jazz scene while barely out of his teens in the late 1950's, has performed and recorded with many great jazz artists, having held the distinction of being the accompanist for many American ...
The Harry Arnold Big Band: 1964/65, Vols. 1 and 2

Eje Thelin: Eje Thelin 1966 with Barney Wilen
by Jack Bowers
Jazz was on the downswing in Europe in 1966, when this amiable recording was made, and trombonist Eje Thelin, whose quintet was named Sweden's best Jazz group only three years earlier, had been forced to disband and go on the road looking for steady work. While gigging in Paris he hooked up with tenor saxophonist Barney ...
The Kjell Jansson Quartet: Zonk
by Jack Bowers
I don’t know how many jazz groups in Sweden are able to make a decent living, but judging from the number of albums that have recently emerged from that snow-swept country, a large number are evidently trying. Coincidentally, Zonk is the second disc I’ve reviewed within a week that consists entirely of original compositions by the ...
