It's a different kind of Nordic folk music, but Jazz På Svenska (Jazz in Swedish) is one of my favourite records. Beautiful piano and double bass interpretations of old Swedish folk songs collected from all over the country.
Immediately going to find this.
It's still the best selling Swedish jazz record of all time, it's part of the Swedish cultural canon and the lead track Visa Från Utanmyra is one of the most iconic Swedish songs of all time.
JAN JOHANSSON?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! He's a legend. Thanks for sharing his music here! :D :D :D
I'm happy to find other Swedes around (
*hushed voice*psst, our instance is pretty cool, if you're interested...).But yeah, Jan Johansson is an absolute legend. I so wish he wasn't taken from us so soon. Such a distinctive touch of the keys he had, so delicate.
Thanks! xD I looked at the instance real quick at I'm AMAZED at the fact that there are Swedish communities outside of Big Tech driven platforms. :D I'll have to give it some careful consideration though, since there is just a LOAD of politics (naturally at the moment....) and it brings me back to why I left FB in the first place back in the day xD (2019?)
Yeah, politics overload is natural at the moment, and quite depressing, given that it looks like we'll get more of the fucking Tidö disaster.
Beyond that it's been a nice /local to have access to over the years though, and I like supporting local endeavours. I think nation based instances are one of my favourite features of the Fediverse.
