When Goteborg Jazz Orchestra (GJO) - and the
founders Mats Eklund and Johnny Olsson - laid out
plans for the band's Monday night concerts for 2021
they came up with the concert series "Swedish Jazz
Heroes", playing the music and telling the story of the
role models who have shaped Swedish jazz of today.
They came across the trombonist Eje Thelin and his
last work, the suite Raggruppamento. The suite was firts performed and recorded live by the Radiojazz gruppen (RJG) in 1989 in the presence of Eje, but
since he himself was too ill, he chose to let guitarist
Goran Klinghagen play his feature parts and solos.
