Bengt Hallberg

Among Sweden’s best jazz pianists, Bengt Hallberg made his initial trio recordings when he was 17. In the 1950s, he documented with Lars Gullin, Arne Domnerus, and such vacationing Us citizens as Clifford Dark brown, Stan Getz, and Quincy Jones. He proved helpful as an associate from the Swedish Radio Big Music group (1956-1963), and, although popular being a article writer for movies and tv, Hallberg has continuing playing jazz on the part-time basis (frequently with Domnerus and Karin Krog), mainly documenting for Swedish brands such as for example Metronome, Sonet, and Phontastic.
