GASONcd 037 - JAN BENGTSON: /
BENGTSON IN ACTION


The first flutist of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Stockholm, Jan Bengtson, (also appearing on nosag CD 038 and CD 041 ) Swedish "everywhere and anything" musician that plays jazz samba with the same esprit as he presents his classical orchestral solos in his daily job. On this very humourous and alterating CD he starts in the middle of Stockholm traffic, looking for a cab, finds himself in hectic whispering uptempo standards combined with a glimpse Stevie Wonder and introvert hymns, folksongs and Bach sinfonia plus Mozart quartet. Bengtson collaborates on this CD with some of the most appreciated musicians of Sweden, as on the sound clip, The Real Group (where his sister sings). Welcome onboard! ORDER it!

THE CRITICS:

Fanfare Magazine: "Bengtson produces a clear, strong tone, and applies it expertly and idiomatically to all the works performed on the disc. All the material is first-rate and so are the arrangements in popular idioms, including big-band jazz, progressive jazz, folk, Latin, and easy listening. In Ellington´s It Don´t Mean a Thing five Swedish singers collaborate, singing and vocalizing slightly classicized doo.wahs. They return on a Swedish folk song to vocalize wordlessly and beautifully. "
