The Johansson Brothers on tour - interpreting 60-year-old ‘Jazz in Swedish’
Anders and Jens Johansson are two of the Swedish rock world's most talented musicians and legends in the genre. They have played, and play, with Yngwie Malmsteen, Stratovarius, Hammerfall, Ritchie Blackmore's, Rainbow, Manowar, Tungsten, Raubtier and many more.
29 Nov at 19.00 Karlskrona Sparresalen.
Anders and Jens' father was Jan Johansson. He is considered one of the country's best composers of all time and has, among other things, created the contemporary classic ‘Jazz in Swedish’, which today is one of Sweden's best-selling jazz discs and highly ranked on lists of the best albums of all time. In 2024, the album turned 60 years old.
A few years ago, the brothers started touring and performing their father's music, with an emphasis on ‘Jazz in Swedish’. They quickly moved away from the arenas of the hard rock world and now offer atmospheric performances, where you can relax and let your thoughts drift away with the help of the meditative folk music. The brothers reveal that it's not just the audience that is put into this dreamlike state:
"Sometimes on stage we are drawn so deeply into the music that we lose track of time and space. This is probably because music is deeply rooted in people's souls. You dream yourself away to the great magical Swedish forests," says Anders Johansson.
Anders and Jens continue: "It's so much fun to play this music. It's not really pure jazz but more Nordic blues. It's so different from what we normally do. The audience is also so broad and participates in so many different ways. Those who listen and get tears in their eyes, those who just close their eyes and dream themselves into melancholy and those who mainly watch."
In November, the Johansson Brothers will finally hit the Swedish roads again:
