Jazz Fusion na Suécia - Jan Johansson

Mix of jazz and folk music

The most succesful fusion in Sweden in the 1960s come to be that of jazz and traditional Swedish folk music. Jan Johansson´s LP album "Jazz på svenska" became a big seller, as did Bengt-Arne Wallin´s LP "Old Folklore in Swedish Modern". Also Lars Gullin, Art Farmer, Nils Lindberg and others made recordings with a similar mixture of old Swedish music and contemporary jazz. This kind of fusion was to have influence on much of the music in Sweden for decades to come.
