It would be wrong to say that Swedish jazz is leading a languishing life. On the contrary, perhaps it has never been more vital than it is now. Besides having a rich and respectable tradition of many fine Swedish jazz musicians (some of them are still alive and active today), Swedish jazz is in a particularly creative and expanding phase right now. This is especially due to the emergence of the younger generation of jazz musicians that has stepped forward and pushed jazz music into the 21st century.
As a result of the appointed year of jazz 2007 here in Sweden, Caprice Records took on the task to collect some of the fantastic jazz being produced in Sweden in the 2000s. The compilation was done with the intention to display a relatively wide picture of the Swedish jazz scene, and to present well-established musicians side by side with younger and up-coming musicians. The result is an exceptional collection of high quality, innovative and engaging Swedish jazz.
Some of the performers are: Bobo Stenson, Ulf Wakenius, Esbjörn Svensson, Viktoria Tolstoy, Jonas Kullhammar, Lennart Åberg, Tolvan Big Band, Fredrik Ljungkvist, Nils Berg, Jan Lundgren, Oskar Schönning, Lina Nyberg, Magnus Lindgren, Oddjob, Rigmor Gustafsson, Joakim Milder, Jeanette Lindström, Fabian Kallerdahl, Lars Jansson, Jonas Knutsson, Peter Danemo, Jacob Karlzon, Magnus Broo, Peter Asplund and Mats Gustafsson.
