Jan Johansson (1931-1968) belongs to a very special category in Swedish music of the 19505 and 60s. In many respects his jazz piano playing was and remains, unsurpassed. His musical curiosity made him a true pioneer, leading him to shape extraordinary bridges between various musical genres and domains. The best known of these are his sensitive renditions of folk music from Sweden and the world, a music that brought him listeners and admirers in every quarter and a development cut short by his all too early death at the age of 37. Jan Johansson's contributions to music embrace the whole spectrum from popular to concert genres and signal a new era of jazz. He wrote, arranged and played for jazz ballet, theater, film and troubadours, as well as for mainstream jazz. His musical outlook was broad, based as it was on various musical experiences ranging from Beethoven through student theater and on to Stan Get/, and Jazz at the Philharmonic, before exploring different musical territories with Arne Domnerus, Georg Riedel, Rune Gustafsson and other superb Swedish musicians. Jan Johansson's music is fortunately preserved on a large number of recordings and forms an exceedingly valuable part of modern Swedish musical heritage. This book is the first longer study of Jan Johanssons life, career and music. It is intended for an international readership and contains a CD record with 20 different numbers culled from various Jan Johansson records made between 1958 and 1968. The author, Erik Kjellberg, is professor in Musicology at Uppsala university and since long familiar with the jazz idiom including Jan Johansson's music. The translator, Sven H.E. Borei, is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and active as a professional translator in Sweden. 1998, kartoniert, leichte Gebrauchsspuren, 193 x 156 mm, 294g, 142, Internationaler Versand, Offene Rechnung.
