Martin Taylor / Ulf Wakenius - World Class Guitars

Jazzhus Montmartre

When Bengan Janson and jazz guitarist Ulf Wakenius share the stage, we can expect musical interplay of the highest order. For many years, the world-renowned Swedish jazz guitarist Ulf Wakenius was a member of Oscar Peterson’s quartet. During his most recent visit to Konserthuset in 2022, he paid tribute to Peterson – a concert available to watch on Konserthuset Play.

All three have made a big and unforgettable impression on Swedish cultural life. Putte with, among other things, his clarinet. Alice with her song. Arne with his alto saxophone.

Tribute concert - the three centenarians

Malmö Concert Hall

When Esbjörn Svensson died in a diving accident in June 2008, the jazz world lost one of its most innovative artists. The Swedish pianist was just 44 and at the height of his career. With his trio, he became one of the defining voices on the European scene, blending jazz, classical music, rock, pop and electronic elements into a distinctive musical language. His former trio partners, drummer Magnus Öström and bassist Dan Berglund, are joined by leading jazz musicians from Sweden and Finland in this tribute to Svensson’s legacy.
