Johan Nilsson is a guitarist from Stockholm, Sweden. After many years
playing with different musicians and with many different groups
(including Burnshee Thornside), he started to plan to make a dream come
true.
The dream was to gather some of the finest musicians in Sweden and invite them
to one of the most famous recording studios in Stockholm, "Atlantis" and then
just play original compositions by the guitarist. An ego trip, yes. An ego
boost, definitely!
The musicians who joined was long time friend André Ferrari on drums, who has
played on hundreds of records in Sweden and toured with for instance George
Wadenius. Another famous Swedish musician who joined was Joakim Milder, the
saxophone player who is an international jazz celebrity in his own right with
many solo-records under his belt. The bassist is Tomas Bergquist, who also is
one of the most merited session-players in Stockholm. (He is also the guy who
play drums and bass on all the Burnshee Thornside records.) Martin Östergren,
the pianoplayer, is a fantastic player and arranger and plays with almost all
the famous pop-stars and singers in Sweden. Finally but not least, the
trumpet-player Jonas Lindeborg who tours and plays with jazzbands all over
Europe.
What a fantastic mix! And they only met this one time, in Atlantis Studios,
learned the songs and then played. 8 hour session is the result.
