Bent Perrson

b. 6 Sept 1947, Blekinge, Sweden. Perrson’s effective trumpet and cornet playing produced him the celebrity of Swedish rings such as for example Maggie’s Blue Five and Bent’s Blue Tempo Band through the entire 70s. During this time period he was documenting a four-volume group of Louis Armstrong’s Fifty Warm Choruses which have been transcribed from cylinder recordings right now lost, but released from the Melrose Brothers in 1927. These accurate-sounding recordings add considerably to what is usually obtainable of Armstrong’s early playing. In the 80s Perrson continuing to execute in the re-creative design he favours. He later on created the Weatherbird Jazzband, caused Tomas Ornberg (reeds) and documented with vocalist Maxine Sullivan.
