Post Description

Ronny Johansson started his jazz piano career by playing with the legendary Eric Dolphy at a concert in 1961. 
After his piano exam in 1975, he has shared his time teaching piano at the School of Music Göteborg University 
until he retired in 2009, and playing jazz gigs. Later years with his trio, mostly local gigs, but also touring twice 
in Japan and making six CD's. In total Ronny has made thirteen records as a leader. MANHATTAN grew out of a wish 
to celebrate his 75th birthday with a recording in a new setting. Matz Nilsson, bass/el.bass and Michael Andersson, 
drums/perc. were familiar with Ronny and his music since they played together in the eighties. A new direction was 
to add guitar to the trio and it turned out great! Rolf Jardemark, a jazz guitarist, who has been around for a while, 
blends very well with the band. As a whole, the session was a swinging one with a fantastic sound and everything went 
smoothly with first takes only. Surely, we hope this is the start of a new band with more things to come 
in the near future! ( http://www.nilentorecords.se/ronny-johansson.html )

This new release features music composed and arranged by legendary jazz pianist Ronny Johansson. In his liner notes, 
he writes to his listeners: “Hi, I took a time out from my trio to celebrate my 75th birthday with a recording 
in a new setting. I found guitarist Rolf Jardemark, a new acquaintance for me and he really made justice 
to my selected songs. Matz Nilsson on bass and Michael Andersson, drums and percussion, I knew and played 
with already in the eighties. We went into the world famous Nilento Studio, run by master Lars Nilsson. 
He gave us a fantastic sound and everything went smoothly with first takes only. I’m very happy and 
I’m sure you will be too, so just enjoy!” Ronny Johansson made his jazz debut in 1961 in Uppsala, 
where he grew up. Afterward, he went on to play with musicians like Bo Sylven, Lars Gullin, Rolf Ericson, 
Art Farmer, and Gilbert Holmstrom’s group Mount Everest. The Ronny Johnasson Trio was formed in 1995 
and has released six albums since 2002. ( https://naxosdirect.com/items/manhattan-435571 )
