Sveriges Jazzband

Sveriges Jazzband (lit. Sweden's Jazz Band) was formed in 1969 from the East End Jazz Men which was founded by Eddie Bruhner in 1955. The orchestra typically plays happy traditional jazz covers with Swedish lyrics by clarinetist and singer G?sta Linderholm. During G?sta Linderholm's leadership 1969-1974, the orchestra started putting more emphasis on humor and entertainment and become a quite popular show band that often appeared on Swedish television during the 1970's. After his departure, Linderholm has continued to work with the orchestra as an occasional guest star.
