To me, this song perfectly encapsulates the swede It's a lonely, melancholic melody with a bass line that somehow offers promises of hope and brighter days. But the piano itself seems hesitant to offer such dreams and just stays the course with its solitude
Exactly. I am a Swede and I cry to this. There is some hope and bright moments, but life in general is hard. I remember my old folks, and what they endured. I remember folks from my family that emigrated to the US. I remember the nature. I no longer live in Sweden, but this is my heritage.
+Herr Treecko Obviosuly you're from Sweden ;) I know all the songs in "Jass pa° venska" are rearrangements of Swedish folk songs. Could you point to the names (or actual songs) of the original folk songs? If you know them or some of them... Thanks!
Ja svensk natur og skove jer 64 år første gang jeg hørte Jan Johanson var jeg 9 år gammel og det gik rent ind i mit hjerte og det gør det stadig den dag idag
Som svensk, det finns ingen sång som fångar den svenska själen som denna. Men för mig är det inte storslagen natur, sången beskriver ett hårt liv och mestadels massor med sorg. Svensk melankoli. Jag växte delvis upp i en bondefamilj i Dalarna. Livet var inte ens då särdeles enkelt. En massa arbete för att enbart överleva. Tar jag in svensk historia, den stora utvandringen, svälten och alla som dog där... jag blir gråtmild. Min familj var där, en del dog, en del utvandrade (och överlevde). Några var vad man kallade bergsmän. Jobbade i gruvor, men även i skogen. Morfar kunde fortfarande mila (att göra kol genom långsam förbränning).
Musikken til mit liv og eftermæle. Jazz på svenska, er uden sammenligning den bedste nordiske jazz udgivelse igennem tiden og man kan ikke lade være med at tænke over hvad han (Jan Johansson) kunne have bedrevet af genialiteter såfremt han ikke var blevet taget fra verden i så ung en alder.
Det er vel den største sorg man på jorden måste baera, at man må miste sin aller beste kjære ( litt etter hukommelse, denne visan finnes OG i Norge. REGARDS From Dag
no offends med det där var ett hån mot Bellman som var ett universalgeni som skrev den bästa klassiska musiken i världen och därtill skapade det moderna svenska språket
@@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet Bellman skrev ganska få sånger själv, han satte främst text på kända melodier. Han skrev heller ingen "klassisk musik". Något universalgeni var han inte. Däremot en av de främsta trubadurer och diktare vi haft i Sverige. En nationalskatt.
I'm a jazz clarinetist in the US and just found out about Johansson from a Swedish friend, because his father listens to him. What a tasteful jazz group. Really enjoying this playlist. Thanks for sharing.
Jan Johansson is probably the single greatest jazz musician that Sweden has ever produced. I myself rank him as among the greatest musical minds ever from my small, cold and dark country. :)
If you want more of the same Esbjörn Svenssons trio or simply E.S.T Thats more actual Jazz like this rather than some of what other people here has recommended. As a fellow musican I cant recommend it enough. Peace
My friend from Norrköping Christina Sogren bought me this many moons ago, it always reminds me of her, I really do hope she is happy. Lots of love from Scotland.
Intressant att du tar upp ordet "vemod" med tanke på att det är en av de mest svårdefinierbara orden i svenska språket, alltså rent känslomässigt. Perfekt ord att beskriva den här musiken dock.
This is the Best of skandinavia, jan Johansson captures the essence of the melancoly but also the deep humanisme that run deep in all of the scandinavian cultures, and i Think we will prevail eventually!
I was at a funeral, and was able to keep my composure pretty well. Then they played this on the church organ (not the Jazz version), and that’s when I lost it
I first listened to this song when I was 19.. I'm now 38, and I've yet to hear any jazz, that can top this piece. This is just a layman's point of view
Back then when my grandma still lived in Sweden some friends came to visit her once and he was with them. He then played on her piano she told me. She had the chance to experience him live. That is awesome I think!
I heard a wonderful story about Jan. When this song broke big in Sweden, he was quite fed out of playing it live. But did it because the crowd demanded it. The touring arrangements wore very simple and he couldn't (of course) bring his own piano. So when he arrived at some "folkpark", somewhere in Sweden, he discovered that the piano was out of tune. The director of this "folkpark" refused to pay to get the piano in shape so Jan payed someone to fix it out of his own pocket. He did his thing and afterwards he payed the same guy to "restore" the piano into it's previous shape. I can't guarantee that this story is true, but it seems possible. I discovered this record in the subway in Sthlm. Some stranger had make a bargin at some second hand store and had put his hands on this record on a original vinyl. He was very pleased. I overhead him and searched for the song on Spotify. I realised that I head this hundreds of time before, not knowing who made it. Now I also have the vinyl. Not original pressing thou. Still looking :) I bow my head to you Jan! You wore truly great.
Haha awsome background story.. I just scored Jazz på svenska on vinyl today in my local record shop.. Really glad been havin my eyes on that one for a long time.. =)
Do not know the story true, BUT, Jan, as Bengt Hallberg, tuned the pianos themselves, as far as I know. Have played with Bengt. In my world the best. Jan sadly died in a car accident, to yung. Jan was the one who made swedish in general listen to jazz. /Flyn Hoting / FB
My mother had a cassette of this album that she played to me and my brothers regularly to help us fall asleep from around the ages of 5-10 or so. My grandfather gave it to her, a double bass Jazz musician from Denmark. He died not too long ago and I find myself listening to this again and thinking of the times we spent together and pondering existence. How life flickers.
FYI - this song became such a hit, that Jan and his group had to play it every evening, sometimes twice. Jan finally got enough, so one night he announced: "tonight we are going to play for the last time "Visa från Utanmyra". So they played it - and he never returned to it with his group (the great Jan Allan with trumpet, and he told this story).
Så otroligt skön musik, Jazz i en av dom bästa formerna som finns, ståbas och piano. Är är gammal Hip Hoppare från 90 talet som snöat in på jazzen, lyssnar väldigt mycket på jazzig hip hop. Alltid lika roligt när man kommer in i en skivbutik eller second hand butik och frågar efter Jan, dom tappar alltid hakan och tittar frågande hur jag vem det är.
Fenomenal musikbegåvning Jan Johansson. Jag lyssnar nästan varje dag numera på en, eller flera tolkningar utav hans fingertoppskänsla. Vila i fred ni fantastiska karl.
Jan Johansson satt in hos Arne D då hans orkester spelade för oss i realskolan i Söderköping i mitten av 1960-talet. Spelningen väckte mitt intresse för jazz. En tid efteråt omkom Jan i en trafikolycka.
I've watched a concert of e.s.t. today, where Esbjorn Svensson mentioned Jon Johansson after playing "Car crash". 5 years later Esbjorn died in a diving accident. How unfair life is :-(
Same here..I had a cassette of this album given to me by a friend - I listened to it constantly for about ten years, when eventually it fell out of the car. I am grateful for finding it here....thank you much.
jflax Bergman was a genius when it came to directing movies but in private he was a swine who mentally abused his housekeeper, calling her “slut” among other insults.
I was searching through some old pictures in the 1890-1960 of my birth home and just now found out that Jan Johansson grew up in the house next door to where I grew up (though he grew up there 60 years before me, haha).
Its wonderful when he blend in the blues licks. The piece is the most beautiful thing. Its out of this world. Im gonna learn this piece even if I die on the way..
l have discovered Jan's music by formerly listening to his sons (Anders & Jens) music projects and Jazz på Svenska has been one of my favorite album since then. Swedish jazz can't get any better than that !
I´ve been listening to Scandinavian jazz lately (Bobo Stenson, Tord Gustavsen, Helge Lien, Espen Eriksen, Esbjörn Svensson), and I´ve tried to put my finger on the sound. It sounds like a mix between American jazz (of course), Swedish folk songs and some kind of latin rythm (bossa nova?). When I listen to Jan Johansson, it feels like a concentrated version of Scandinavian jazz, like the source. Could it be that Jan Johansson is the origin of this style of jazz you hear in Scandinavia to this day?
Love this! My roommate had this vinyl in Berkeley back in the 80's! more than 25 years later I was craving it and all I remembered was the title: Jazz Pa Svenska and found the CD! Now it's here, so great!
Visa Från Utamyra has been used SO much in TV every time something is "Swedish" - and I didn't know WHAT song it was. Until now. THANK YOU. My Earworm now has a name :D
Tänk, så många gånger vi hört Georg Riedels bastoner ljuda. Idag kom beskedet, nu finns han inte mer, men hans musik lever vidare!
Tack för musiken ni gav oss Jan Johansson och Georg Riedel
Så sant. Fantastiska musiker. Sorgligt att mista mina ungdoms musiker. Leonard Cohen är en till.

En stor musiker och kompositör.
De har nog rört fler människors liv här i sverige än nästan några andra musiker.
My brother left the world this week. The last he heard was this piece of music.

My condoleances.
My condolences sincerely - he had a really good taste of music! Stay strong my friend

Ten years. I've been trying to find the name of this piece for ten years, and I finally found it.
congrats then
Congrats, I found it now after it had been played on my grandfather's funeral
The bliss to find it, right? It is a true gem, this!
me too
Nice. Where did you hear the song? Its a classic swedish song..not many outside of swe who knows about this song

It's a lonely, melancholic melody with a bass line that somehow offers promises of hope and brighter days.

Totally agree with your sentiment. Its kind of low key but majestic at the same time. Only the Swedes know how to do this. LOVE THE MUSIC!!

While this is certainly gloomy and Jan does it well, I don't think angst and melancholy define Jan Johansson's career or expression.
