The result was that I finally discovered a full length version of that great Swedish film Sven Klang's Kvintett!
I've waxed eloquently about this film ever since I first saw it on TV many years ago. If you haven't seen it - watch it! If you have seen it, watch it again!
It doesn't matter if your Swedish is a bit rusty, the subtitles are there and, if you've ever played in a provincial function band you could well relate to the story. There is also some great alto playing by the actor himself - Christer Boustead. Watch, listen, laugh, cry, enjoy and cry again - https://rarefilmm.com/2022/06/sven-klangs-kvintett-1976/. Simply magnificent! Lance

Hi Lance- Re the Sven Klang movie- I still think this is the greatest jazz film ever made.
