Here's some great Jazz sounds from the 50's..........sooooo if you like your jazz swinging and cool have a listen !!


Lars Gunnar Victor Gullin (4 May 1928 – 17 May 1976) was a Swedish jazz saxophonist.A unique innovator in Swedish jazz.
Lars Gullin was a child prodigy on the accordion. At age thirteen, he played clarinet in a military band and later learned the alto saxophone, but after moving to Stockholm in 1947 became a professional musician as a pianist. He planned on a classical career, studying privately with classical pianist Sven Brandel.
Lars Gullin, composer, arranger and baritone saxophonist (1928-1976) is one of Sweden's most famous jazz musicians. He was a new-minded man who in his compositions and arrangements and in his play added a new dimension to jazz. His music lives today, as strong and engaging as ever before. It is played and sung by both young and "old" jazz musicians and singers.
He was a major personality and innovator and in his playing, he brought a new dimension into jazz.Both his compositions and his superbly fluent baritone saxophone playing possessed a very beautiful Nordic, romantic sound tinged with melancholy. He composed jazz, choral music and classical music. Lars Gullin is regarded by many to be the last of national romantics....(Info Edited From "Lars Gullin Sallskapet") Plus (Wikipedia)
