About

*** Vinyl LP ***

Curated by saxophonist and improvisational musician Mats Gustafsson, Caprice Music continues the Öppet series, focusing on a relatively unexplored period of Swedish creative, experimental music from the 1960s and 70s.

Öppet Två presents saxophonist Lars-Göran Ulander, who made a big impression on this series' curator in 1982, when he witnessed a solo concert at an art exhibition. Mats describes it as "Phrases of sound that referred interactively to the visual art that he had in front of him. Sound and image generated electricity in the room. Energy and friction.”

In 1963, when Lars-Göran Ulander was 20 years old, he became a member of the prolific Umeå trombonist Lars Lystedt's sextet. After that, he was active in several different constellations, such as his own septet, various bands together with drummer Sten Öberg, and a brilliant trio with pianist Per Henrik Wallin. Ulander has also worked as a teacher, and for many years as director of Swedish Radio's jazz programming. He has been increasingly musically active since retiring, and still plays in several bands.

On this very first dedicated portrait record of Ulander, the musician Mats Gustafsson and Roger Bergner at the Centre for Swedish Folk Music & Jazz Research, have selected various archived recordings from the 1960s and 70s. In addition, jazz researcher Jan Bruer and drummer Peter Olsen assisted, and all this in close collaboration with Lars-Göran Ulander himself.
