In the 70´s i was a member of Scandinavian fusion pioneers EGBA.
As i am again
Those recordings have not, i´m sorry to say,been re-issued to this day
So until that day comes along, enjoy a sample of 70´s jazz-rock from EGBA here.
In fact, we've been talking about making all the old albums available here.
If nobody wants to re-issue them, Does that mean our work shall disappear into obscurity ?!
No way, it's a different world today. You can't keep a good band down.

Before me, Goran, Bjarne and Lars joined Egba the band had
Janne, Harald and Claes in the lineup.They went off and started RESA.
So if you like the first EGBA album i think you'll enjoy "Cozy Square" as well.
Janne has since passed away i'm sorry to say, but listen to "Butterflies"
and you'll see why this great guitar player and composer must be remembered
and heard. There's no re-issue of this album originally released in 1975.

Before me and Bjarne joined EGBA we started our career in the pit band for the musical
Two gentlemen from Verona. It wasn't exactly what we had in mind for the future
but it meant steady work, and income, for over 6 months.
My plan was to save as much dough as possible to be able to play ONLY jazz-rock
And if that meant cocking porridge on a stove in the cheapest possible hotel i could find.
SO BE IT !
Still, i DID have a little drum solo in the show while the leading lady did high kicks
in the air right in front of my kit. Nice !

When Bjarne left EGBA he made this solo album in 1988. It's great and i think you should
take some time and listen to it. No downloads for this one, it's still in print so enjoy it but buy it.
