CANCELLED Bröderna Johansson – Jazz på Svenska – MalmiJazz

Anders and Jens Johansson interpret jazz in Swedish at Malmitalo. The gig is the only one in Finland for the band’s current tour.

Anders and Jens Johansson are two of the most talented musicians in Sweden’s world of rock, legends of their kind. They have played, and will play, with Yngwie Malmsteen, Stratovarius, Hammerfall, Ritchie Blackmore, Rainbow, Manowar, Tungsten, Raubtier and many more.

Anders and Jens' father, Jan Johansson, is known as one of the best composers of all time in his country and has created, among other things, modern classic “Jazz på svenska”, one of Sweden's best-selling jazz albums and high on the list of the best albums of all time.

Some years ago, the brothers began to perform their father's music on tours, focusing on "Jazz på svenska" (jazz in Swedish). They quickly rose to the world's hard rock arenas with atmospheric performances, where the listeners can relax and allow their thoughts to be carried away on a journey into meditative folk music.

“Sometimes on stage we sink so deep into the music that space and time disappear. That's because music is deeply rooted in the soul of the people. You see a dream of you in the magical Swedish forests,” says Anders Johansson.

“This music is so much fun to play. In fact, it's not pure jazz, but rather a kind of Nordic blues. Completely different from what we usually play. The audience is also very diverse and participates in very different ways. Some listen with tears in their eyes, others just close their eyes and dream sadly, and then there are those who mostly just watch.”

MalmiJazz provides a wide range of jazz music genres in a first-class concert hall environment. The ascending, numbered auditorium provides each concert guest with their own comfortable seat and a good view of the stage. The excellent acoustic, sound and lighting equipment of Malmisali guarantee a high-quality concert experience.
