CD permanently out of stock. Sorry!
Haunting, sparse interpretations of Swedish folk music. Best selling Swedish Jazz record of all time.

Incredibly frustrating
author: andrei_england@lycos.co.ukI have been trying to buy this CD for absolutely ever and now, having discovered your site, I have learned that it is not for sale. Well, unobtainable. It would appear that Sweden is undergoing through socialist regime goverment quota? Is there any way I could obtain a copy of this absolutely fabulous album?
These incredible melodies will make your hairs raise all over.
author: A Fan from New York CityThese incredible melodies will make your hairs raise, absolutely fantastic CD.
Unique
author: BjörnJan Johansson trusts the beauty of the melodies and plays out his virtuosity only where necessary. People who love folk tunes AND jazz piano will find a unique blend on this CD.
still a fantastic jazz record
author: Peter Rolke, GermanyI baught this LP-record 30 years ago and loved it. Now I'm happy with the CD, it's still a fantastic jazz-record.
The other reviewers have said it all...
author: Marilyn RoseThe other reviewers have said it all...........Folkvisor is just wonderful soulfood. "Sensible" indeed.
Piano and bass - that's all you need!
author: Andy Taylor, UKRecorded with real atmosphere and beautifully played. Wonderfully strong melodies make this far more than just another mellow-jazz CD.
A very sensitive jazz recording
author: Thomas - Paris FranceAlbum formidable, sensible, jazzy avec beaucoup de retenue et de feeling. A acheter d'urgence !
A haunting and memorable fusion of jazz and folk music.
author: Graham RobertsThe music on Folkvisor manages to be very relaxing and haunting while always keeping the listener's attention. The marvellous and memorable folk tunes seem to have been a rich source of inspiration for Jan Johansson and musicians who often inject a jazzy wit and humour into the pieces. This CD is almost guaranteed to make you feel better for the experience.
