Volume 10 covers a musically dizzying period, even though the mass media of the time mostly spoke of crisis years. According to trumpeter and then jazz radio head Bosse Broberg, who gives an extensive interview in the book, the 1960s, and especially the latter part, was the real golden age of Swedish jazz! The diversity of color and the great variety were enormous – from modern avant-garde free forms to old-time traditional styles. Swing and big band music had their special revival movements at the end of the decade. All this, a “smorgasbord” of jazz styles, is included in this album. Here is a chance to listen to the whole Swedish jazz elite, as well as soloists new on the scene and prominent orchestras in rural areas in both well-known and little-known recordings. After an agreement with the Swedish Musicians´ Union, SAMI, IFPI, the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation, Swedish Television and other holders of rights, Concerts Sweden/Caprice Records has made a collective contribution for this project to the Jan Johansson Foundation and Thore Ehrling Foundation.At the same time, we would like to thank all the great musicians, solo singers, photographers, writers of texts and other participants for their outstanding efforts!
