Jan Lundgren takes the festival stage together with bassist Mattias Svensson and the Oulu Symphony Chamber Musicians to pay tribute to one of the founding fathers of Swedish jazz music: pianist Jan Johansson (1931–1968). Johansson set the direction for Scandinavian jazz and how it is perceived in the rest of the world, with his recourse to the indigenous folk music. His recording from 1963 Jazz på svenska was to become a timeless guiding light for this kind of Nordic improvisatory music.
