Jan Lundgren / Hans Backenroth (SE) - 'Jazz på Svenska'
Tickets
De to svenske jazzikoner fejrer Jan Johanssons legendariske album "Jazz på Svenska"
Jazz på svenska fra 1964 er den bedst sælgende svenske jazzplade nogensinde. Pladen grundlagde for alvor skandinavisk jazz som fænomen og blev en vigtig milepæl inden for genren.
Jan Johansson cementerede sig derfor hurtigt som en af de mest markante skikkelser, men desværre blev fornøjelsen kort, da han på tragisk vis omkom i en bilulykke som kun 37 årig. Heldigvis lever hans musikalske arv stadig videre og varetages konstant af beundrere, der fortolker den med deres eget twist.
Det gøres blandt andet af de to svenske stjerne-musikere, pianist Jan Lundgren og bassist Hans Backenroth over tre aftener på Montmartre. Ved disse hyldestkoncerter dykker de tilbage til 1964 med nutidens briller på og spiller den klassiske svenske folkemusik med et nutidigt præg.
Begge musikere har optrådt over hele verden og med jazzens største kunstnere som Lee Konitz, Peter Washington, Benny Golson, Georg Riedel og Monica Zetterlund.
Desuden var Jan Lundgren den første skandinaviske pianist til at optræde i Carnegie Hall i New York, som anses for at være en af verdens ypperste koncertsale.

🇬🇧 ENGLISH:
Jazz på svenska from 1964 is the best-selling Swedish jazz record ever. The record truly established Scandinavian jazz as a phenomenon and became an important milestone within the genre.
Jan Johansson therefore quickly cemented himself as one of the most significant figures, but unfortunately the pleasure was short-lived when he tragically died in a car accident at the age of only 37. Fortunately, his musical legacy still lives on, and is constantly being cared for by admirers who interpret it with their own twist.
This is done, among others, by the two Swedish star musicians, pianist Jan Lundgren and bassist Hans Backenroth, over three evenings in Montmartre.
For these tribute concerts, they dive back to 1964 with modern glasses on, and play classic Swedish folk music with a contemporary twist.
Both musicians have performed all over the world and with jazz's greatest artists such as Lee Konitz, Peter Washington, Benny Golson, Georg Riedel and Monica Zetterlund.
Furthermore, Jan Lundgren was the first Scandinavian pianist to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York, which is considered one of the greatest concert halls ever.
