Bjorn Samuelsson: Jazz Formation: A Letter to Ake Persson
by Jack Bowers
Åke Persson (1932-75), widely known as “the Comet, is arguably the greatest jazz trombonist ever to come out of Sweden (certainly the best-known), a truly remarkable innovator who performed with a galaxy of American stars and was a mainstay in the legendary Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band, as well as Germany's RIAS Big Band.
