In 1935 Benny Goodman put together the famous trio with Teddy Wilson at the piano and Gene Krupa on the drums. The first recordings resulted in an immense success. The concept of letting the left hand of the pianist work together with the bassdrum, in the absense of a bassplayer, and Goodmans joyful ease created an airy sound that brought fourth the elegant technique of the musicians and an ecceptional swingexperience. In 1936 vibraphonist Lionel Hampton was added to the group. This quartet became the model for the popular Swedish group that Ove Lind and Lars Erstrand put together. Ulf Johansson Werre overtook the pianostool from Bengt Hallberg and later Bjorn Sjodin inherited the drummer position from Ronnie Gardiner.

After the decease of Ove Lind Antti Sarpila joined the group. Now, after the decease of Lars Erstrand the group continues as the original, chambermusical trio with which Goodman set style in 1935. SWEDISH SWING SOCIETY (SSS) cares and develops this inheritance in a way that has given response among audiences and critics over the world. ”World class” is often mentioned when referring to the appearances of the group, for example at Carnegie Hall in New York at a celebration of the ational Day of Sweden.

”The interplay between Ulf, Antti and Bjorn is brilliant.It sounds so easy and natural when these musicians make their elegant and swinging versions that it puts You in a great mood.”http://www.bjorntjanst.com/SwedishSwingSociety.html

Personnel: Ove Lind (clarinet;) Lars Erstrand (vib); Ulf Johansson (p, vo; ) Bjorn Sjodin (ds)
