Nacka Forum
Their debut album was released in 2002 to widespread critical acclaim in Sweden. Since then, the group has remained one of the country’s most prominent jazz acts, receiving Grammy nominations, placing high on year-end critics’ lists, and touring extensively around the world. They also attracted unexpected attention in the sports pages when a track on the debut album was titled “Zlatan.”
The follow-up, Leve Nacka Forum, was released in 2005 and was met with similar enthusiasm. In 2012, the band released Fee Fi Fo Rum on the Moserobie label, featuring cover art by the comic artist Joakim Pirinen and guest appearances from guitarist Reine Fiske. Around this time, Danish drummer Kresten Osgood took over from Kjell Nordeson, and a live album was recorded in Tokyo with free jazz legend Akira Sakata as a guest. This was followed by the studio album We Are The World, recorded at Moserobie’s studio, with cover artwork by Swedish-Canadian designer Martin Kann, known for his work with Bob Hund.
On stage:
Goran Kajfeš – trumpet, Crumar EVI and percussion
Jonas Kullhammar – saxophones and various other instruments
Johan Berthling – bass
Kresten Osgood – drums and more
