Jan Lundgren & Hans Backenroth - Jazz på Svenska
Tickets
De to svenske jazzikoner hylder Jan Johansson og Georg Riedel
Jazz på Svenska fra 1964 er den bedst sælgende svenske jazzplade nogensinde. Den grundlagde for alvor skandinavisk jazz som fænomen og blev en vigtig milepæl inden for genren verden rundt.
Denne aften fejrer to af Sveriges fineste nulevende jazzmusikere - pianisten Jan Lundgren og bassisten Hans Backenroth - ikke alene Jan Johansson og hans bassist George Riedel, men svensk jazz i det hele taget og dens stærke inspiration af lyrisk folkemusik.
Jan Johansson nåede at blive en legende, mens han levede - ubetinget en af Skandinaviens største jazz-skikkelser nogensinde. Desværre blev fornøjelsen kort, da han omkom alt for tidligt som 37-årig i en bilulykke. Heldigvis lever hans musikalske arv stadig videre og fortolkes og videreudvikles af bl.a. Jan Lundgren og Hans Backenroth.
Jan Lundgren er internationalt kendt for sit lyriske og melodisk stærke spil samt sin dybe forankring i den svenske sang- og folketradition. Han turnerer verden rundt som en af de fremmeste repræsentanter for skandinavisk jazz, og listen af musikere, som han har spillet med tæller talrige giganter - bl.a. Lee Konitz, Joe Lovano, Benny Golson, Georg Riedel og Monica Zetterlund.
Jan Lundgren har æren som den første skandinaviske jazzpianist, der har optrådt i Carnegie Hall i New York. Bag sig har han talrige storsælgende plader.
Hans Backenroth er en af Sveriges mest efterspurgte bassister, med et rigt og varmt tonesprog. Hans solide samspil med Lundgren er præget af stor lydhørhed og en fælles forkærlighed for de svenske folkemelodier.

🇬🇧 ENGLISH:
Jazz på Svenska from 1964 is the best-selling Swedish jazz record ever. It truly established Scandinavian jazz as a phenomenon and became an important milestone within the genre worldwide.
This evening, two of Sweden's finest living jazz musicians, pianist Jan Lundgren and bassist Hans Backenroth, celebrate not only Jan Johansson and his bassist George Riedel but Swedish jazz in general and its inspiration of lyrical folk music.
Jan Johansson managed to become a legend while he was alive - undoubtedly one of Scandinavia's greatest jazz figures ever. Unfortunately, the pleasure was short-lived when he died far too early at the age of 37 in a car accident. Fortunately, his musical legacy still lives on and is interpreted and further developed by, among others, Jan Lundgren and Hans Backenroth.
Jan Lundgren is internationally known for his lyrical and melodically strong playing as well as his deep roots in the Swedish song and folk tradition. He tours the world as one of the foremost representatives of Scandinavian jazz, and the list of musicians he has played with includes numerous giants - including Lee Konitz, Joe Lovano, Benny Golson, Georg Riedel and Monica Zetterlund.
Jan Lundgren has the honor of being the first Scandinavian jazz pianist to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York. He has numerous best-selling records behind him.
Hans Backenroth is one of Sweden's most sought-after bassists, with a rich and warm tonal language. His solid collaboration with Lundgren is characterized by great responsiveness and a shared love for Swedish folk melodies.
