The pianist Jan Johansson's revolutionary jazz treatments of traditional Swedish folk songs were a few years away, and he had yet to experiment with modal playing and avant-garde jazz. At this point, he was still playing mostly hard bop, which is the style that dominates here. It gets off to an impressive start with four recordings from Johansson's first session with alto saxophonist Arne Domnerus in 1959. After that, Johansson is heard as a trio pianist in 1959 and 1960. The Swede's expressive pianism demonstrates that while Bud Powell had been a big influence on him, he was quite willing to incorporate the ideas of others who came along, ranged from Bill Evans to Red Garland. Like Miles Davis and John Coltrane, Johansson was far from complacent; he believed in challenging himself and continuing to forge ahead.Exactly Like You2 14Where Or When4 04Sometimes I´m Happy3 04There´s A Small Hotel3 14Younger Than Springtime5 50Love For Sale5 40Autumn Leaves3 12Now See How You Are6 40Mack The Knife2 54Serenade In Blue2 59Beck´s3 25Swingin´ The Blues5 36Serenade In Blue (Alt Take)2 51Beck´s (Alt Take)3 25Swingin´ The Blues (Alt Take)5 41Suburban Street3 44 Album Tracks 1.

2014 , the fifth album from the Danish roots rockers. With a firm grip on the banjo and the guitar J. Tex often travels over the sea between Denmark and Sweden, with a sound of Americana, blues and country music. OLD WAYS VS. NEW DAYS takes a charming journey through a soundscape of violin, bass clarinet, vocals and a brilliant guitar and banjo work. The luggage is packed with solid experience, but music understanding is still open, curious and it is the major theme of the album. Album Tracks 1. This Old Banjo 2. Chocolate Jesus 3. As Wide As the Moon 4. Treading Water 5. This Old Blues 6. Night Train 7. Ship Coming in 8. April Fools Day 9. Clear Sky 10. Swedish Winter
