J Nilsson Project: Funky jazz in a live setting.


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.
