Inhalt:
Jan Lundgren, born in 1966 in southern Sweden, is part of an impressive, long
tradition of Swedish star pianists and is considered a pioneer of the
emancipation of European jazz from American jazz. Lundgren as well as Bobo
Stenson or Esbjörn Svensson have decisively shaped the sound of Scandinavian
jazz with their compositions. This collection of 20 original compositions
represents the pianist's personal selection. These are not transcriptions, as
it is often the case, but all the notes correspond to the musician's original
handwritten scores. Lundgren writes in his foreword to the songbook: ''It is
important to me to give those who play my music as much space as possible to
express themselves freely. For this very reason, my own recordings of these
compositions often deviate from the original sheet music in terms of
harmonies and melodies.''

All the sheet music is available as lead sheets for C instruments, allowing
ensembles as well as solo artists to interpret Lundgren's compositions in
their own way. In addition to Lundgren's personal selection of works, the
music book contains a foreword in Swedish, German and English, a detailed
biography in German and English and several portraits of the composer.
