I just received some cds including music by Jan Johansson, to say that I am bold over is an understatement, the cd that I have is called Folkvisor on the Heptagon label.

Originally it must have been 2 lps, one based on Swedish and the other on Russian folkmusic. (early 60's)

The Swedish part is just piano and bass and the Russian section adds drums.

I would like to find out more about Jan. I believed that he recorded with Stan Getz??

This is definitely a musician that deserve wider recognition.

He died in 1967 in a car crash.

And the icing on the cake is that the recording is beautiful.
